Is someone tracking me?

I have had this notification keep piping up on my phone the past few days saying “ air pod maxs found moving with you the owner of this device can see its location” and just today it has changed to air pods. It is showing my HOME location and then a different building.. I only get these notifications at night. I try to play sound when it is available but I never hear anything and when I try to look the air pods move back to the building not to far from where I live. It only shows my location and a different location it doesn’t follow me anywhere else but it shows someone else has where I live. I’m not sure what to do about it. I’ve tried going to multiple stores to ask for help but they say they can’t help. It won’t give me the option to remove the device without having the device.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

If you're receiving notifications on your phone stating that AirPods or AirPods Max are moving with you and showing your home location along with a different building, it's possible that someone else's AirPods or AirPods Max are mistakenly connected to your iCloud account. Here are a few steps you can take to address this issue:

  1. Check your iCloud account: Verify that your iCloud account hasn't been compromised. Change your iCloud password to ensure that only you have access to your account.
  2. Review connected devices: Go to the iCloud settings on your phone and check the list of devices associated with your account. Make sure that only your own devices are listed. If you see any unfamiliar devices, remove them from your account.
  3. Reset network settings: On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This step can help clear any cached network data that might be causing the issue.
  4. Sign out of iCloud on all devices: Sign out of your iCloud account on all devices, including your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and any other Apple devices you own. Then, sign back in using your Apple ID and password. This process can help refresh the connection and ensure that only your devices are linked to your iCloud account.
  5. Contact Apple Support: If the issue persists, it's advisable to reach out to Apple Support directly for further assistance. They can investigate the situation and provide guidance on how to resolve the issue.

Remember to keep an eye on your iCloud account and take steps to secure it, such as enabling two-factor authentication and regularly updating your password, to protect your personal information and devices.
