I have never seen this warning. What does it say? Do you have a screenshot or link about it?

When you power a newer iPhone off, there's a small message under the "slide to power off" switch, with the text:

> iPhone Findable After Power Off

Tapping it displays a dialog box with a longer message:

> iPhone Remains Findable After Power Off

> Find my helps you locate this iPhone when it is lost or stolen, even after power off

> The location is visible in Find My on your other devices and to people in Family Sharing you share location with.

> You can temporarily turn off Find My network and it will resume when this iPhone is turned on again.

with buttons "OK" and "Temporarily Turn Off Finding".

“You can even find devices that are offline or powered off.“

There’s some technical details there. The key words are “Find My Network”
