    Not while turned off, generally. Screen off, sure.

    Edit: apparently at least some do

      There is no such thing as “off” on modern Smartphones. Even if you power it down things like the baseband prozessor and bluetooth still stay active most of the time.

      If the battery is integrated into device there ist no real way to completely shut this things down.

          Just as an example:

          https://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my/

          “Some devices can still send their location for up to 24 hours after they’ve been turned off or have low battery life.”

          https://www.91mobiles.com/hub/exclusive-google-find-my-device-feature-phone-off

          “Google began rolling out this feature as “Powered Off Finding” with the Pixel 8 series, letting users locate their phone even when it’s switched off by keeping the Bluetooth chip active.”

          And those are only some of the official known possibilities

      Thats not correct. Iphones and androids are never truly off. There are a few privacy focused phones by small makers with hardware switches for each radio. You can run android or linux on them.
