Not showing iPhone is findable under shutdown option

My iPhone is 15 pro max. When I try to turn off my iPhone, there is no message showing up that says this iPhone is findable after power off. Although I did every setting. Please help me.

iPhone 13, iOS 17

As we said........


The iPhone uses Bluetooth to send out a very brief intermittent signal after the phone has been powered off.


So, you would want to make sure that Bluetooth is set to On when you tap Settings > Bluetooth.


You will not see "iPhone Findable after Power Off" if Bluetooth is Off.....because the phone cannot send out a signal.

Bluetooth also helps with location accuracy in conjunction with Wi-Fi and cellular. So, you would always want to make sure that Bluetooth is On.

If the Bluetooth setting is "grayed out" so you cannot move the slider from Off to On to activate the setting.....that is a different issue.
