How to get back your lost AirPods with your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
One of the easiest ways to find Apple AirPods is to use Apple’s built-in Find My service. The great thing about Find My is that you don’t have to register your AirPods directly with the service. If you’re already using a Find My-registered iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, connecting a pair of AirPods to the device will automatically enable Find My for your headphones.

To find your AirPods on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, follow these instructions:
- OpenFind my app

For example, if you’re at home or at the office, this might be more useful than checking the GPS location of your Apple headphones.
If you’re sure your AirPods are nearby, sound can help you more easily than an inaccurate GPS signal.

- OpenFind my app
- select tab equipment
- choose your AirPods in the list

What to do if your AirPods are offline
If you try to locate your AirPods using Find My and find them offline, you won’t be able to see the headset’s GPS location or play a sound to help you locate them. You’ll just get a “Location not found” message in the app. However, all is not lost.
