Hello Keplos,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

We found this information for when you see this type of alert:

"If you see one of the following alerts on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, an item compatible with the Find My network could be traveling with you, and the owner might be able to see its location. This could be an AirTag, AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, or a Find My network accessory from manufacturers other than Apple.

It's possible that the AirTag or Find My network accessory might be attached to an item you're borrowing, or you might get this alert if you’re borrowing someone else’s AirPods. If you're borrowing an AirTag or another item compatible with the Find My network from a member of your Family Sharing group, you can turn off alerts for that item for one day, or indefinitely.

If an AirTag that's separated from its owner is seen moving with you over time, this alert is displayed: AirTag Found Moving With You."

It's from the article you visited: What to do if you get an alert that an AirTag, Find My network accessory, or set of AirPods is with you - Apple Support

Once you pair the AirPods to your device, this alert should stop.


Please let us know if you have further questions.

Cheers!

Greetings Keplos,


Check out this link to learn how to connect the AirPods to an iPhone: Connect your AirPods and AirPods Pro to your iPhone - Apple Support. If you own a non-Apple device, this link will help: Pair AirPods with a non-Apple device - Apple Support.


Last, should you encounter any issues with pairing the AirPods to your device, you can follow the guidance on this page: If your AirPods won't connect. It offers several settings to check to see why the AirPods may not be detected or connecting.


We hope this information helps you out.


Kind regards!
