The Find My app is a godsend for someone who frequently misplaces their AirPods and other Apple items.

With this program, you can quickly locate your misplaced iPhone, Apple Watch, MacBook, Mac Mini, and AirPods on a map or make a sound to alert you to its whereabouts.

Let’s see how you can use the Find My app on your iPhone to find your AirPods.

Step 1: On your iPhone, look for the Find My app. Open it. This app is already installed on your phone and cannot be removed.

If you can’t find it, roll down to your main screen and type ‘Find My‘ into the phone’s search box at the top.

If it’s not preinstalled, you can download the Find My app in the App Store.

FAQ

Is it possible to track dead AirPods using the Find My App?

Can AirPods be found in the Charging Case?

If your AirPods are still in their power adapter, you won’t be able to monitor them. If they are outside the case, they will only reconnect to your phone (creating a Bluetooth that the Find My app may exploit).

Your AirPods aren’t linked to Bluetooth and their location isn’t updated when they’re in their charging case.

The AirPods Max is the lone exception to this rule, as they may stay connected for up to 12 hours inside their Smart Case.

Launch the Find My app on your iPhone and hit Devices to enable Lost Mode on your AirPods. Then, under Mark As Lost, choose your AirPods, scroll up, and touch Activate. After that, hit Continue and type in your phone number. Finally, touch activates after enabling Notify When Found.
