Airpods 3rd gen supports find my. To reset or unpair from a previous owner how is this done?
Does the last owner have to do this like on iPhone activation lock, or can you just pair with a new iPhone and it will attach to your AppleID for your find my.
Thanks
Hey QwertyMan11,
That's correct. You would need to disconnect them from Settings > Bluetooth or he can reset them using these steps: How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support. Either way, this will allow the AIrPods to be paired with his iPhone for use.
Hope that clears it up!

Hey QwertyMan11,
It sounds like you have a concern with AirPods and Find My. We'll be happy to answer those questions.
The Find My feature is tied to the iPhone that they were set up with. Here's some more information about this: How to find your lost AirPods, AirPods Pro, or AirPods Max - Apple Support.
Here's how to pair the AirPods to a device: Connect your AirPods and AirPods Pro to your iPhone - Apple Support.
Have a great day.
Hi
So they have to be untied from the iPhone they are using for another user to use them - is that correct?
So for example if I gave my AirPods to a friend he couldn’t use them straight away without them untied from my iPhone?
Thanks
Sorry so just to confirm.
Lets say they are tied to someone else’s iPhone. If they forget and give to someone else what happens?
Can the new person just do a factory reset like you link to, this will then untie and remove from the original owner “find my” as well?
Thanks
Hi so with the ability just to reset them, what is the point of “find my” as someone could just reset them before you find them say, or are stolen, abs you can’t then find them?
On an iPhone it has iCloud lock on preventing someone just resetting your iPhone and reusing. I presume AirPods don’t have this protection then?
Thanks
Hey QwertyMan11,
Yes, you can reset the AirPods and pair them with another device using the steps provided above.
Cheers!
