I lost my AirPods

Do this first

Look for them in Find My

• Open the Find My app on your iPhone.
• Tap Devices, then tap the name of your AirPods. If your AirPods are out of the case, you might have to pick the left bud or right bud.
• Find your AirPods on the map.
• If they aren't near you, tap Get Directions to open their location in Maps.
• If you're nearby, tap Play Sound and listen for the series of beeps.
• Depending on your AirPods or iPhone model, you might also see an option to Find Nearby. Tap it, wait for your AirPods to connect to your iPhone, then follow the prompts to find your AirPods.
• If you don't have an iPhone or other Apple device to use Find My, you can also find your AirPods at iCloud.com/find — but the experience might be different and some functionality might not be available.

Then

1. 1 "Offline" or "No location found"?

   • If your AirPods are out of range or need to charge, you might see their last known location. You might also see "Offline" or "No location found."
   • You might be able to get directions to their last known location — but you won't be able to play a sound or use Find Nearby.
   • If they come back online, you get a notification on your iPhone (or other Apple device that you use them with).

2. 2 Still missing? Show your contact info

   • Open the Find My app, then choose your AirPods and swipe up.
   • Under Lost [device], tap Lost Mode or Show Contact Info.
   • Follow the onscreen steps to display your contact information. This allows someone to contact you if they find your AirPods.

3. 3 Be ready next time

   • On iPhone, open the Settings app, then tap Bluetooth. Tap the More Info button next to your AirPods, tap Find My, then scroll down to Find My network and make sure that it's turned on.
   • With Notify When Left Behind, your iPhone or Apple Watch can alert you when you leave your supported AirPods at an unknown location.
   • If you still can't find your AirPods, you can buy a replacement.
