    Hi LC119,

     

    Take a look at the article linked below, it has some great tips that will resolve most issues where the iPhone is showing up Offline in Find My iPhone.

     

    iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac

    "No location available," "Offline," or "Location Services Off" alerts

    This can occur if:

    • The date on your device is incorrect. Choose Settings > General > Date & Time to check and set the date.
    • Your iOS device is currently off or not connected to a data network (Edge, 3 or 4G, or Wi-Fi). Wait a few minutes and try again.
    • Your iPad (Wi-Fi only), iPod Touch, or Mac is currently off or not connected to a Wi-Fi network.
    • Location Services is not enabled on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch (Settings > Privacy) or on your Mac (Date & Time) preferences. Learn more about Location Services on your Mac:
    • You are located in a country where Apple does not offer this feature. This feature may not be available in all countries due to technical limitations or local law.
