How to completely power off your iPhone

Apple’s doing this offline iPhone tracking in a secure way, but you might object to the fact that your iPhone isn’t technically fully powered off. So if you want to completely power off your iPhone, you can do it in two ways. First, when you go to turn off the iPhone, tap the little “iPhone Findable After Power Off” button. From here, you can choose the “Temporarily Turn Off Finding” option to completely turn off the iPhone just this once.

If you’re looking for a more permanent solution, you’ll need to disable the Find My Network feature, which generally isn’t recommended for obvious reasons. To do it, open the “Settings” app, and go to Apple ID > iCloud > Find My > Find My iPhone, and disable the “Find My Network” feature.
