Is there any way for me to find them if I lost my AirPods and they’re offline?

Sign in at iCloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app to see your AirPods on a map. Find My iPhone shows you the location of the Apple devices that you're signed in to with the same Apple ID, and your AirPods. Or if they're not connected, the last time and place they were online.

On your computer:

  1. Go to iCloud.com.
  2. Sign in with your Apple ID.
  3. Open Find iPhone.
  4. Click All Devices, then click your AirPods.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

  1. Open the Find My iPhone app.
  2. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
  3. Tap your AirPods.

these steps will allow you to find where your iPods were before they're offline.


If you didn't turn on Find My iPhone before your AirPods went missing, you can't use it to locate your device. If you see a gray dot next to your AirPods on the map, you can't play a sound to find them but you might be able to get directions to the location where they were last connected. If your AirPods do come back online, you'll get a notification on the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch you use them with.

Find My iPhone is the only way that you can track or locate a lost or missing device. There is no other Apple service that can find, track, or otherwise flag your device for you.
