Hi, I have the iPhone pro 11 and recently upgraded my AirPods to the latest ones 2nd generation, my question is I do not have the option of (notify when left behind) in findmy.
Is my phone too old for this feature? iPhone is running latest iOS 16 and the airpods are also up to date
I’m Currently downloading the 16.1.1 update.
I have followed all the steps in your previous post, basically in Find My the option to select notify when leave behind is not there, but it is on my iPad Pro.
i do get alerts if I leave my iPad behind and also my air tags?
Hi adamf69,
Your device is compatible with the feature. You'll need to make sure that you're updated to iOS 16 on your iPhone 11 to find it. You can learn more here: Get separation alerts if you leave your AirPods behind
Here's a resource to show you the options for updating your device: Update your iPhone or iPad
Take care.
The phone is iPhone 11 Pro v16.1 👌
adamf69,
Were you able to locate the option to turn on separation alerts for your AirPods Pro after ensuring your iPhone is updated to the latest iOS version? Also, a new update of iOS 16.1.1 was released today, so you may want to update again to be sure you're able to access that feature in Find My.
Did you follow the steps in the link posted previously to attempt to turn on separation alerts?
Turn on separation alerts on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. Open the Find My app, tap Devices, then tap the name of your AirPods.
2. Below Notifications, tap Notify When Left Behind.
3. Turn on Notify When Left Behind, then follow the onscreen directions.
4. To add a trusted location, choose a suggested location, or tap New Location, select a location on the map, then tap Done.
5. Tap Done.
You'll also want to be sure you have notifications turned on for the Find My app in Settings > Notifications > Find My in order to turn separation notifications on for your AirPods Pro.
Let us know what you find.
Cheers!
