Can I locate my phone via Bluetooth?

I can't find my phone anymore. I'm not sure if I fell out or I left it somewhere in the apartment.

I'm still connected to my laptop with my mobile phone because I can write with the laptop in WhatsApp. Whether it is connected via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, I do not know how to see it.

Now my question is already above -> Can I place my mobile phone via Bluetooth?

Bluetooth rather not. But actually one can locate modern mobile phones quite simply if one does not deactivate the function.

If you can reach it via Bluetooth, it can't be far away.

Bluetooth will not be responsible for the WhatsApp connection, but WLan. Of course there can still be a Bluetooth connection.

A location does not work, because you need at least two transmitters or receivers, better would be more. I do not know if bluetooth is suitable for that, but Wi-Fi is. Nevertheless, you need two or more transmitters or receivers and software that can calculate the approximate location. Theoretically that works, but how exactly do I not know and I do not think that you can do that.

Maybe the telephone company will help, I mean, they can pin down to a few meters, but I doubt they'll do it that way - just for security and privacy.

If you have a Bluetooth connection (in Windows you can list the device), you already know that it can't be far away. You can run around a bit and see when the connection breaks down or can be rebuilt.

I would simply call the cellphone. If there's a Bluetooth connection then it will not be far away and you probably hear it.

Oh great it is in the house where I live and even in the same entrance. Would have to be mine, unfortunately, it does not ring loud although there it rings even if it was dumb

Thank you for your answer unfortunately my phone is on "mute"

Then unfortunately you have bad luck and have to look for sight.

At the call it will vibrate but at least (if active) and light up.
