"Losing AirPods happens to the best of us. They're small, they slide into couch cushions and they love disappearing into bags or pockets when you least expect it. Luckily, Apple's Find My system makes it easy to track down misplaced AirPods, whether you dropped the case somewhere or can't find one of the individual earbuds. With the right settings enabled, your iPhone can show the last place they were connected,"
"Open the Find My app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac and go to the Devices tab. Your AirPods should appear in the list. If they're online or recently connected to your device, Find My will show their current location on a map. If they're offline, the app will show the last place they were detected, which can help narrow down where to start searching."
"If the location seems familiar, head there first and refresh the app once you arrive so it can update if the AirPods reconnect. If Find My says your AirPods are nearby but you still can't see them, you can make them play a locating sound. Tap Play Sound in the device menu and the earbuds will emit a rising chirp that gets louder over a few seconds. This is especially helpful for finding AirPods hiding under blankets, inside bags or behind furnitur"
Apple's Find My system automatically lists paired AirPods in the Devices tab when linked to an Apple ID. Bluetooth must remain on during use so the system can refresh their location. The app displays current location when AirPods are online and the last detected location when offline to narrow search areas. Users can refresh the map upon arrival to prompt updates. When nearby but out of sight, the Play Sound feature emits a rising chirp to help locate earbuds hidden under cushions, in bags, or behind furniture. Find My can also guide searches for a single missing earbud.
