Lost/missing iPhone was on Find My for two months now randomly disappeared

I lost my iPhone 13 about a month or two ago after I got home. I remember having it in my car and thought I brought it in but haven't been able to find it. For the entire time since I couldn't find it the last location showed up on the Find My app on my laptop until tonight. Does this mean because it possibly was dead that whole time that it was unlinked or did someone somehow get hold of my iPhone randomly tonight accessed my find my and turned it off/or factor reset the phone?

Use Find My to locate your lost Apple device or AirTag – Apple Support


  • "If Find My can't display your device or item's current location, for example if your device's battery has run out, you can see its last known location for up to seven days in the Find My app."
  • "If more than seven days have passed since your device last sent its location to Apple through the Find My network, Find My can't display a location. Instead it shows "No location found.""
