AirPods Pro 3 – “Find My” and Hearing Test not available on iOS 18.7 despite Apple’s website saying it should work
Hello,
I recently bought AirPods Pro (3rd generation), , and I’m facing several unexpected issues.
According to Apple’s official AirPods Pro 3 page, the Find My feature, the Hearing Test, and other core functions should work starting with iOS 18 or later.
However, on my iPhone running iOS 18.7:
- I cannot access Find My for my AirPods.
 - The Hearing Test option is missing.
 - I cannot disable Transparency mode.
 
When I contacted Apple Support, they told me these AirPods require iOS 26 to work properly.
This information is contradictory, because the website clearly states iOS 18 or later or air pods pro 2 or later
my AirPods has the name: ACCESSORY_MODEL_NAME_39 this issue should not be happening, which makes me think this is an Apple bug that will hopefully be fixed in a future update.
Could someone please confirm, Will Apple release a fix soon so that these features work as advertised on iOS 18?
Thank you for your help and any official clarification
Kevin
