Locating Lost AirPods:


AirPods Location:

AirPods do not have their own IP Address. So, what is shown is the last location seen of the item while they were synced to it. With that being so, they might be where you are, if still synced with the device.


So, what to do...

A. Backtrack your Locations:

Do it the olde fashioned way and backtrack your locations. For instance, if you were at a retail store, then stop in, asking the store manger if it was placed aside.


B. Lost-&-Found:

Check with the Lost & Found department of the facility you were in, seeing if it has been handed over.


C. Contact Local Authorities:

See if the community police, or local security guards at the front door, can across it.


D. Use Craigslist:

Put a post on Craigslist, seeing if they have been found.


E. Go Here: How to Find your Lost AirPods, AirPods Pro, or AirPods Max - Apple Support
