This is pretty scary. I keep getting notifications that an unknown device is with me and has been tracking me from Find My. It shows a comprehensive map of locations I’ve been to. What could it be? I clicked remove device and it said failed to connect to server. I restarted the phone and now 2 objects show up.

I MAY have a fix. This has been happening to us as well for 2+ months now
,I have spent hours on the home with Apple on our family shared account as we all were receiving the notifications and nothing has helped until now and here is what seems to be working for us. First off, remove apple AirPods from your Apple ID account completely. Then restore the AirPods completely as to a new condition by opening the cover and holding down the back pair button for 15 sec or more until light on the front pulsates in white light. Then, and this is very important! Go away from your home or business or school WIFI! You need to be on cell signal only, Go a few blocks away and then pair the AirPods to original owner ONLY, …… Since doing these steps, we are not getting the notifications that unknown AirPods are following you notifications anymore, I hope this helps, please let me know.
I have a similar problem. Everytime after I take a walk with airpods I get a notification from Find My telling an unknown device was following me, with a tracking map, scary. I know it was my airpods and the pair has been established for sometime now. Why does not Find My recognize it is a set of paired ear phones that were following the iphone?
oh my god this is happening to me too im so scared ???
Mine is doing the same thing!
scary… right after I’m at at the airport
I have the same problem but it comes up every time I drive so I think it’s not recognizing my computer in the dashboard.
Did anyone find a fix? This happened to me and the local police told me to contact Apple, but Apple can't do anything.
my sister also got these notifications
Freaking out, after leaving the casino I started getting notifications that I was being tracked. I do not have EarPods nor an apple tag. I am unable to remove the device. Please help!
would you know what the red dots indicate
Well for me, I hadn’t been to those locations so I’m not sure why the red dots would even be there.
I just started having same problem… it is scary 😟
my fiancé has gotten this too, we think it’s a system bug because we switched cars and checked her purse and nothing. I’ve seen people on Reddit say they’ve left with nothing but their bike and their getting it. Espicially a lot of posts in the last 48 hours
This is happening to me too. Ever since I did the update in find my location app. I get a notification that I have been traveling with an AirPod and the owner can see it’s location. Then I also get a notification that an unknown accessory is detected. And what’s strange is it only happens at night. 10:34 and 11:19 is usually around the time. Can someone tell me what this is all about? This is starting to make me want to switch to android.
No, we do not share the same Apple ID but all IDs are part of a family shared plan. Meaning parent can see all locations for all devices belonging to all IDs in the FindMy app. The tracking notification was being seen by all members the same way. It was showing in iphones, apple watches and ipads alike. All stating that unknown AirPods Pro were tracking our location.
What happened to me: I connected my AirPods to a friend’s phone, and it started to track it. They could view the location. I just asked them to remove the device and the problems were resolved.
Just happened to me as well. Map shows a location from this morning and Idid not leave the house this morning!
I'm getting iPhone notifications about an unknown device is with me
