If you can’t see someone’s location in the Find My app, it could be because they turned off their location services data or location sharing. In this case, their name will disappear under the “People” tab in the app. It’s also possible that the phone is currently off or without any internet access available to it.
Location sharing definitively stops functioning if a phone has no power. Every method used to determine and transmit a phone’s location requires power in order to work. If you want to be completely certain that your phone’s location is a mystery, remove the battery.
Here’s whether you can hack a phone’s GPS and how to: Technically, the answer is yes, not really as long as you don’t have full access to the phone. More specifically, the GPS location for an Android phone can be spoofed to mask the device’s location. Even then, it’s hard to do without some assistance from the phone’s owner. If you want to learn all about hacking a phone’s GPS and how you can do it too, then you’re in the right place. Let’s jump right in! How Does GPS Location Hacking Work? (2 Terms) GPS hacking is not like hacking in a traditional sense. It doesn’t really involve cracking passwords or firewalls or encryptions in order to take control of devices or systems. No, GPS hacking is all built on the concept of spoofing. This is a term for when you have a device that pretends to be a different device. Here’s an example. Have you ever received a telemarketing call from a number that you know doesn’t belong to them? Maybe the number was that of a friend or a family member, or even your own phone number. That’s the result of spoofing. The telemarketers are calling from their own line, but they use spoofing technology to trick your caller ID into thinking that the call is coming from a different number. They’re trying to trick you into answering. GPS spoofing works in a similar way. Instead of cracking the GPS system itself, hackers use either hardware or software to send the wrong GPS coordinates in relation to your phone. The GPS system doesn’t really care about who or where you are. It’s just there to process signals and identify physical locations accordingly. So, if your device, or a spoof of your device, sends the wrong signal, there’s nothing in the GPS system trying to catch the trick. For this reason, GPS location hacking, when successful, is extremely
If your battery dies your Bitmoji won’t disappear from the Snap Map. However, if you are offline for a long time, your Bitmoji will disappear. After about seven hours, Snapchat assumes you don’t want to broadcast your location publicly, and your Bitmoji will disappear.
Google can get your location wrong because they use your IP address. If the ISP is in the same state we are in, we get location services for that state. But sometimes, smaller ISPs use the services of larger ISPs that are in different states. So, we get an IP address from another state, and Google thinks we are there.
