If my phone dies, does it stop sharing my location with others? How does that work?
Hi Anna, great question!
Yes, when your phone completely runs out of battery and dies, it stops actively sharing its location. For your phone to transmit location data, it needs power to run its GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular components. Without power, it can’t connect to networks or run any apps or services, which means it can’t send out its current whereabouts.
Once it’s off, all active location sharing ceases until it’s charged and turned back on.
