Keeping this in view, can you turn iPhone on remotely?
No, there is no way to remotely turn on the iPhone, and there is no reserve battery for the purpose of turning it on to track. The only thing you can do is go into iCloud and turn on Lost Mode.
Also Know, can someone control my phone remotely? No. It's not possible. As you said your phone is doing a lot of things on its own and opening apps and texting itself, I thought you're connected your charger while you observed this. This software provides a remote control feature to view real-time screen of your phone and can control it from Laptop/PC.
Furthermore, how do I turn off my iPhone from another Iphone?
Method #2From Another iOS Device All you have to do is launch the app, sign into your Apple account, select the offline device, then tap either "Erase iPhone" from the bottom or "Remove" from the top-right corner, then follow the on-screen instructions to continue.
Is there a way to turn on a phone remotely?
1 Answer. The idea is impossible. To physically supply power to the phone's chip, you would have to press the power button. The only workaround would be to have an always-on device attached to the phone that could then use a motor to press the power button.
