Can a phone be tracked after a thief turns on Airplane Mode?
Airplane Mode cuts network access, so no app can send live alerts through the internet at that moment. But an anti-theft app can still save local evidence and sync it later.
What SafeMyPhone does
When Airplane Mode or full network loss is detected, SafeMyPhone captures an offline evidence alert. It can include time, location, photos when Android allows camera capture, battery, SIM, network, and device details.
Why alerts wait until reconnect
If Wi-Fi and mobile data are gone, upload is impossible. SafeMyPhone marks the record pending, then retries after reconnect, boot, unlock, or manual sync.
Best owner preparation
Grant location, camera, notification, phone-state, and background-running permissions during setup. Test a recovery alert before the phone is lost, so the app has the right owner email and private key.
