Does find my iphone tell you the last location your phone was?

I lost my phone two days ago. I logged into my icloud and used FindMy and got my friends to track my location through the find my friends app and neither of them showed my last location. My icloud account has my macbook and my iphone registered on it but only my macbook's location is being tracked. Is there any way to see where my last location was?

In order to see the last location, "Send Last Location" would have to have been turned on in Settings > [username] > Find My > Find My iPhone in the device before it was lost. The description in Settings for that is "Automatically send the location of this device to Apple when the battery is critically low." The location would not be available if the device is offline because someone turned it off or because it doesn't have an internet connection, but only if it is off because the battery was low. The additional requirement is that the location is only shown for 24 hours. If all of those conditions are met you would see the last location in Find My. There is some information on that in If Find My iPhone is offline or not working - Apple Support
