Over 1000 people have hit that "Me Too" button... they are aware of it. It's probably not so easily solvable. Look for the U2 available soon.

I tried everything above besides a Network Reset. I posted the steps and the final posted version was butchered where the words closed was censored and the list of actions was de-numerated and reformatted to single space. Makes it really hard to follow steps.


The only thing I can think of that I did differently was reboot the phone after I removed the airpods fron the phone and disabled find and share my location. Reboot, reset airpods, and follow those steps and it should work. super annoying. I agree.

I just had this issue for the last two weeks. Did all the steps above and still no fix. Just sat here for the last 30 minutes restarting my phone, forgetting the airpod 2's reconnecting, resetting everything up, and for some reason like the 4th time forgetting the device and reconnecting it, it just worked again.


Seems to be a bug and no idea why it just decided to show up and connect on the find my airpods again because I did the same exact steps over and over.

Facing the same issue but in AirPods Pro Gen 1. Tried contacting the support team, they escalated to their senior advisor and then the almost long hour call was simply dead. Dead, not disconnected.


First they couldn’t come up with a solution for 13 pro’s notifications sound issue, and now this AirPods issue. I’ll have to think about moving back to android again.

My air buds pro 2 are lost & in find my app showing setup incomplete, what will do

Look for them the old-fashioned way. Go to where you saw them last and look. Retrace your steps. Check in at lost & founds and reception desks in places you've been. Look in the pockets of all the close you've worn since the last time you remember having them. Look between the sofa cushions and under the seat in the car. If there are any small children in your life, ask them if they might have seen (i.e. "have been playing with" )them.
