Location question on Airpods

If someone picked up my Airpods, but has not opened the Airpods, will it still show the old location? Currently the Airpods show on the Find My app at a certain location and indicate that they are connected. I tried going to that location and pinging them for sound, but they did not want to connect to my phone. Wondering if the Find My app location could be wrong. Any suggestions?

Hey there elliana148,


What you're seeing is likely the last known location where your AirPods were connected.


If your AirPods are out of range or need to charge, you might see their last known location, "No location found," or "Offline."
You can't play a sound to find them, but you might be able to get directions to the location where they were last connected. If they do come back online, you get a notification on the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac that you use with them.



If you still can't find your AirPod or charging case, or if something is damaged, get the serial number and then contact Apple Support for a replacement. Then learn how to set up your replacement.
