Lost Mode and Notifications
If your item is truly lost, you can enable 'Lost Mode' in the Find My app. This feature allows you to:

Understanding the Find My Network
The Apple Find My network is a vast, encrypted, and anonymous network of hundreds of millions of Apple devices that can help locate your HOCO E94. When your HOCO E94 is near another Apple device, it sends its location to iCloud, which you can then see in the Find My app. This process is entirely anonymous and encrypted to protect your privacy.
