AirPods connected to an ID I don’t recognize

I just recently updated my IOS system and my AirPods were connected to my Apple ID. However, right after the update, I received a notification saying my AirPods are connected to another ID and that Account can see my location. What do I do?

Hi there Squibbins,


If your AirPods are connected to another Apple ID, you'll want to be sure you reviewed the information in the related article linked in blue at the top left corner of this page:


Remove a Find My network item or device from an Apple ID
Use these steps to remove devices such as AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and iPhone Leather Wallet, Apple items such as AirTag, or Find My network items.

These steps also remove Find My Lock, which is the association of the device or item with an Apple ID. Find My Lock needs to be removed before you can associate the device or item with a different Apple ID.

- If the device or item is associated with the Apple ID of the previous owner, the previous owner needs to follow these steps to remove the device or item from their Apple ID.
- The device or item needs to be connected via Bluetooth to the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac used to remove the device or item, and the device or item needs to be within Bluetooth range.

These steps are the only way to remove an item from an Apple ID and remove Find My Lock. They can be performed from any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or Mac that's signed in with the same Apple ID. Apple can't remove Find My Lock for you.

Take care.
