Those people are wrong. Setting a passcode and using your face or fingerprint to protect all of the information on your phone is a vital part of keeping your personal information secure.

And after a few days, the extra step will become part of your routine and you won't even notice. After setting a passcode, double-check that Find My is turned on.

The device owner won't even know they're helping you find your lost device. I covered this feature in more detail here when it made its debut.
There's no reason to not use the network to help you, or a complete stranger, find a lost Apple device. As for Send Last Location, well, that's pretty self-explanatory. As your battery gets low, it will automatically send its last location to Find My in an effort to help you recover it if it turns off. You can still track your phone after it shuts down if your device is running iOS 15, but that's only available on newer iPhone models.
