I saw this on infinity for Reddit earlier, I don't know if there's a workaround for this or not.

Didn't iPhone been doing it for years so you can still track your lost phone even if it's turned off?

But this is Android, I'm sure there'll be work around if you don't want it. Personally I think it could be helpful.

Take the battery out of the phone. No battery no energy to run bluetooth

phone batteries used to be removable on the user level. hasn't been that way in like 10 years.

There still are phones that can do this, and from 2027, all phones sold in the EU must allow user-replacement of batteries.
