AirPods Pro Detected Near You

I’m curious if others have iCloud+ Pr ivate Rela y? Also likely “they” added or changed a database field reflecting product improvement update. 

Did anyone fill out a bug report? or proceed to lose their minds and call the police (better if you called your psychologist lol)…

Just got this today and it’s freaking me out that I can even be seen. It’s showing my exact location since 10:30 this morning and it’s not 4:30pm. I can see everywhere I’ve been today. Apple, you NEED to do something about this ASAP

I got the alert again yesterday and it tracked to my own AirPods for the first 5 minutes. After that it stopped showing up on the locator. Idk what’s up but maybe it’s some kind of bug, or hopefully not, some exploit that people are using.

I got a lemon I-Phone 13 and it took 3 weeks to get a replacement. I got mine today and now the AirPods Pro Detected Near You pops up. I don’t own AirPods but it shows me the location of an area I walk on occasion. What is this?

Should have updated here. I found the issue was that for some reason my AirPods were coming up as someone else’s. I think I ended up just removing them from my phone and doing a reset on the AirPods. Haven’t had the issue since then.

A random guy showed up at our office claiming his airpods had been stolen at a restaurant and that his location tracker for his airpods showed they were in our building. Really? Is this a new scam of some sort? Someone told me that these airbuds are tracked using any iphone that's connected to the internet. If our iphones are being used to help people find lost or stolen property there must be a way to opt out. Right? Really don't want strangers coming to my house or office looking for stolen property. Talk about a security concern.

I believe,you can opt out by going to Settings > {Your Name} > Find My > Find My iPhone > Find My network > Off.

This same thing is happening to my girlfriend, I know that the red dots are every time the person physically checks your location. My girlfriend is texting apple support right now trying to get help on this.

Hey there, I just woke up this morning and found the same message. I didn’t even leave my house last night, I was asleep when it happened. Either there is an issue with the last iOS update, or people have found a back door in through this airpod tracking, and are hacking into our phones. Not happy with Apple either way.

I just got this advisory tonight while at the bar for New Years. My girl has air pod pros but I can’t seem to get them to make a noise or deactivate. This is a terrible problem. Please fix apple!

I’ve been getting the exact same thing for a month, have you managed to solve the issue?

Thank you for this link. I’ve submitted feedback on this type of issue.

Both iPhones in our household suddenly started getting this error PLUS I have been getting it on my MacBook. I have one pair of AirPods that I carry on my person.

Did you find any solution to this? Same thing is happening to me.

No, but it stopped sending me alerts.
