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, play a sound to help you hunt them down or even guide you with on-screen directions. Here's how to use Find My to locate lost AirPods and how to track down the left or right earbud if only one has gone missing.
How to use Find My to locate AirPodsIf your AirPods are paired with an Apple device linked to your Apple ID, they automatically appear in the Find My app. You don't need to enable this manually, but you do need Bluetooth turned on during regular use so the system can refresh their location.
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.
For many people, this alone is enough to jog a memory. Find My might show your gym, a friend's house or the bus stop where they slipped out of your pocket. If the location seems familiar, head there first and refresh the app once you arrive so it can update if the AirPods reconnect.
