Greetings Hello_i_need_help,


We'd like to provide you with a few steps that may be able to assist you with locating your lost AirPods:


"Intro to using Find My with AirPods

  • You can use Find My with all AirPods models, but some models may have additional features to help you find them. If you’re not sure which AirPods you have, see Which AirPods do I have?
  • To locate your AirPods, you must turn on Find My on a paired device (such as your iPhone or Mac) before they’re lost.
  • For the best experience with Find My, make sure your paired device has the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, or macOS installed.
  • You can turn on the Find My network to see the location of some AirPods models even when they’re out of range from your device. If the Find My network is turned off (or if your AirPods don’t support the Find My network), the Find My app shows the last time and place they were connected. See Turn on the Find My network.
  • If your AirPods are out of range or need to charge, you might see their last known location, “No location found,” or “Offline” in Find My. If they come back online, you get a notification on devices you paired with them.


See the location of your AirPods on a map

You can see the current or last known location of your AirPods in the Find My app.

  • On iPhone or iPad: Open the Find My app , tap Devices, then tap your AirPods.
  • On Apple Watch: Open the Find Devices app , then tap your AirPods (requires a Wi-Fi or cellular connection).
  • On Mac: Open the Find My app , click Devices, then select your AirPods.
  • On iCloud.com: Go to iCloud.com/find, sign in with your Apple ID, select All Devices, then select your AirPods.

For most AirPods models, when your AirPods are separated, you see the location of only one at a time. To find them both, first locate the one that you see on the map, put it back in its case, then refresh the map to locate the other one.

If you have AirPods Pro (2nd generation), you see the location of each of your AirPods and the charging case on the map."
