    This saved me on an iPhone before. I lost my phone outside a bar miles from my house, and didn’t notice at the time. The next day I was able to track it and go retrieve it despite that the battery was dead. Otherwise I never would have seen it again.

      Yep

      I feel like this would help more than it would hurt, but I wish there was a way to force a full shutdown as needed. If someone is in danger, they shouldn’t have to discard or destroy the phone completely to stay safe

      Isn’t that more the last location is recorded instead of even if you turn it off, we’re still going to keep it on and track you.
