find my iphone

Basics: Are you logging in to iCloud with the same Apple ID that the phone was logged in to when you enabled Find My? Do you have VPN enabled on the phone?

When you log in to iCloud what EXACTLY does it say? Does the phone appear in the list of devices and say “offline”, or doesn’t it appear at all? Find my will never say the phone is off, as it has no way of knowing that; as all Find My knows is that it isn’t receiving a signal from the phone the best it can say is “offline”.

If it says offline, is the phone connected to cellular data AND to Wi-Fi, or to at least one of them?

Some possibilities for the current offline status of the almighty iPhone.....

1) The almighty iPhone was powered off more than a day or so ago

2) The battery in the almighty iPhone has run down

3) The almighty iPhone does not have a connection to the Internet where it is currently located

All that you can do is keep trying every 6-8 hours or to see if the status of the almighty phone will change.

Best to be realistic about his. There is next to a zero chance that you will ever see the almighty phone again. Most stolen phones are on their way to the huge manufacturing plant in China after a few days.

Your original post told us........"when i log in icloud it shows its off."

We took that at face value and answered accordingly. So now, you are saying that you were not logged in to iCloud?

Our answers are only as good as the information that we have to work with.

If you have the phone in your possession and you can't get Find My to work, something is wrong. Make an appointment at the Apple Store or take the phone to an authorized Apple Service shop.
