The iPhone may be offline. You may want to check this info from Apple Support:


If Find My is offline or not working - Apple Support


I see my device in Find My, but it's offline

Learn why you might see "Offline," "No location available," or "Location Services Off," and what to do.

Why is it offline? 

  • Your device is powered off or its battery has run out.
  • It's not connected to a known Wi-Fi or data network. 
  • If you turned on Send Last Location, more than 24 hours has passed since it connected to a Wi-Fi or data network. 
  • You might be in a region where we don't offer this feature due to technical limitations or local law. 

What can I do? 

You can still play a sound, send a message, issue a lock request, or start an erase of your iOS device with Find My. Your device receives the command after you turn on your device and connect to the Internet.
