Turn on the Find My network
When the Find My network is on, you can see the location of AirPods 3, AirPods 4 (both models), AirPods Pro (all generations), or AirPods Max in the Find My app for up to 24 hours after they last connect to your device, even if they’re not nearby.
Important: To use the Find My app to locate AirPods when they’re offline, the Find My network must be on before they’re lost.
-
Wear your AirPods, and make sure they’re connected to your device.
-
Go to Settings , then tap the name of your AirPods near the top of the screen.
Scroll down, then turn on Find My Network.
Note: If your AirPods 3, AirPods 4 (both models), AirPods Pro (all generations), or AirPods Max are used with multiple Apple Accounts (for example, if you lend or share AirPods), only the person who turned on the Find My network can see them in the Find My app. You may also get an alert if someone else’s AirPods are traveling with you. See the Apple Support article What to do if you get an alert that an AirTag, set of AirPods, Find My network accessory, or compatible Bluetooth location-tracking device is with you.
