Can’t mark AirPods Pro as lost

I’ve misplaced both of my AirPods Pro, I’m the case, fully charged. When I go into “Find My”, it doesn’t give me the option to “Activate” or “Mark as Lost”. I’m running iOS 15.1 - why don’t I have this feature? Thanks for any insight you have!

You are welcome.


Try the following…

  1. Go to: Find your lost AirPods - Apple Support
  2. Scroll to: Turn on Lost Mode for your AirPods
  3. Proceed from there as necessary


Report back if it works.

Setting Up "Find My":

Was Find My set up correctly?

  1. Go Here: Find your Lost AirPods - Apple Support
  2. As it reads: "Find My 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. Learn how to set up Find My."

Thank for the reply! Yes, I have “Find My” set up and it works for all of my other devices. I understand that I can’t make them play a sound or find their location (which I thought I would be able to do when I bought them, so that’s kind of annoying), but other articles say I should be able to “Mark As Lost”, and I’m not getting that option.
