Q:

Can AirPods be tracked with a serial number?

So recently my Apple AirPods we’re stolen. I have already filed a police report on the suspect, but I just wanted to know if it is possible to track them with the serial number. I have tried find my iPhone, but it won’t give me updated locations.

iPhone X, iOS 14

Hello,

If your AirPods are out of Bluetooth range, out of charge, or in the case with the cover closed, Find My won't give a current location. You just have to find them manually by looking for them. However, Find My may list the most recent location where they were last connected.

See this for more detail:

If your AirPods are lost

Good luck.
