iPhone 11 dropped in ocean

Long back in month of may 26, mistakenly I dropped icy iPhone 11 in ocean near to beach.

on FIND MY app, previously it was showing the location of iPhone 11 and distance from me, but since two day back I am observing that FIND MY now stop showing the location and the distance.

does it mean, my phone is fully damaged? Or something else.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Are you saying that you never retrieved the phone, and that you've been using Find My to track it this whole time, and now you can't get the location any more?


Or that you retrieved it at the time, but the Find My feature is no longer working?


Possibilities:

  • Someone found it, and turned it off, and hasn't turned it back on
  • The battery charge ran out,
  • It's in a place where it can't get a radio signal out to report is location, or
  • It's damaged or dead as a result of salt water damage to its electronics


In any event, salt water immersion is not good for electronics.
