INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that airplane mode turns off Find My location tracking on an iPhone?
Unclear. The retrieved items do not directly address whether Airplane mode disables Find My. One security analysis notes Find My relies on Bluetooth crowd-sourcing rather than cellular or GPS, and a reference page notes Find My can locate a powered-off iPhone, both of which suggest Airplane mode would not stop Find My, but neither settles the claim.
