Intro to Using Find My with AirPods
All AirPods models support Find My, however, some could offer extra capabilities to aid in finding them. Check out Which AirPods do I have if you’re unsure which ones you have.
You must enable Find My on a linked device (such as your Mac or iPhone) in order to find your misplaced AirPods.
Make sure your associated device is running the most recent version of iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, or macOS for the optimal Find My experience.
Certain AirPods models let you track them even when they are out of range from your device by turning on the Find My network. The Find My app displays the last time and location that your AirPods were linked, even if they are not compatible with the Find My network or if it is switched off. View Activate your Find My network.
You may see “No location found” or “Offline” in Find My if your AirPods are not charging or are out of range. On the devices you associated with them, you receive a notice if they reconnect online.
