Bluetooth Scanner App

Unfortunately, I have misplaced my Airpods 1st gen in my house. Most likely the battery has drained on the case and Airpods. They don't appear in "Find My" because of the battery or they are not connected to my Phone.


I thought maybe I could try a bluetooth scanner to help locate them. Again, I know that I am stretching to find them if the battery is dead or no longer connected to the Phone.


Can anyone recommend a good bluetooth scanner?

Hello,

Hmm, If Find My can't locate them via Bluetooth, I'm not sure if a scanner would help:

If your AirPods are out of Bluetooth range, out of charge, or in the case with the cover closed, Find My won't give a current location. You just have to find them manually by looking for them. However, Find My may list the most recent location where they were last connected.

If your AirPods are lost

Good luck.
