To remotely activate GPS location on an Android phone, ensure that the device has "Find My Device" enabled in the settings under Security. From another device, log into your Google account associated with the phone and go to the Google Find My Device website or app. Once there, select your device, and you can remotely locate it as long as it is powered on, connected to the internet, and has location services turned on. Note that you cannot turn on GPS if it was previously disabled; it must have been enabled prior to losing access to the device.

For Android phones is there any anti theft app that lets you turn on the phone when it is switched off or let's you turn on the network when it is off?

Most anti-theft apps for Android, like Google's Find My Device, require the phone to be powered on and connected to a network to function. If the phone is switched off or the network is disabled, these apps generally cannot turn it back on or re-enable the network remotely. Some apps may offer features that help locate a phone if it is turned back on, but they cannot activate the device when it is off. Always ensure your device has security settings enabled to maximize tracking capabilities.
