This function is very similar to the iPhone's search network, and Apple will also introduce a low-power coprocessor in the iPhone 15 to strengthen this function. Google has warmed up to this feature as early as December 2022: it can track lost or stolen Android phones even if the device is not connected to the Internet. Of course, this function needs hardware support to be used. The principle should be to keep the Bluetooth low energy chip enabled at all times. (IT House)
