Google's Find My Device network allows devices to be located even when they're offline. The network utilizes other online Android devices to detect the location of a device when it's offline. Users can opt out of the Find My Device network by going into settings in the app and choosing 'Off' or 'Without network.' It is important to change essential account passwords if the phone is lost or stolen.
