The Apple devices connected to your iCloud account will show up on the map if their location is known. Below the map, you'll see the list of all of the devices, location or no location, and you can swipe up to view more if hidden or swipe down to close the card. Previously, you could not expand or hide the list of devices. When you tap on a device name or icon, a card appears with all of the information you need such as device name, location, battery life, and when it was last located.
Also, for offline devices, you can set it so that you get a notification when they come back online.
Previously, tapping a device would not show its exact address or battery levels. In iOS 12 and under, you had to tap "Actions" to see the list of tools available, but in iOS 13, it's all right there on the card immediately. Swipe up on it to view them all. You can play a sound on the device to help you find it in the immediate area, get directions to its coordinates with Apple Maps, and erase the iPhone if you need to.

In the Settings app, you can access more options for Find My iPhone, just like you could before. As for the options, you can disable Find My iPhone just like before, as well as enable or disable " Send Last Location ," which automatically sends the location to Apple when your device gets low on battery. That way, you can find a more accurate last location for it should you need to.
After 24 hours of the device going offline, however, the coordinates are deleted by Apple for security reasons. In previous versions of iOS, if your device had no internet connection or a thief turned off cellular data and Wi-Fi, it would prevent you from tracking it since it has no way to send its location.
With the new "Enable Offline Finding" switch on, your iPhone will also use its Bluetooth signal to report the device's location to any nearby Apple devices using end-to-end encryption. So if a thief turns off cellular data and Wi-Fi but leaves Bluetooth on, or more likely, if you forget your iPhone somewhere and there's no mobile reception or hotspot to connect to, Bluetooth can still save the day.
