iOS 8: send last location - what's in it?

In iOS 8 you will find the "Send last location" function. We'll tell you what that brings and whether it's worth it.

iOS 8: Send last location

• You can find the function in the "Settings" app under the "iCloud" category. The option can only be activated if you have activated "Find my iPhone".
• You should always activate this function so that you can find your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch again in an emergency. This means that the device always sends its current location to your iCloud as soon as only a few percent of the battery is available. Of course, this only works with an existing internet connection.
• If your device is lost and the battery is empty, at least one last sign of life remains for you via the iCloud. In many cases, this can be very helpful.
• You do not have to fear a battery loss with the option. The signal is only sent out when the battery has little charge anyway.
