A friend of mine gave me some AirPods, all of a sudden I am getting messages that say something about being tracked by previous owner. I don’t know what to do!?

Remove these from their Account:

Your friend needs to remove these from their Apple Account. If they don't, then they'll keep see you where these are, making this a privacy concern.

Show this to your Friend:

1. Go Here: If an Item or Device is Connected to Another Apple ID - Apple Support
2. Scroll toll: "How to remove AirPods or another Find My network device from an Apple ID on Mac"

"Just needed to add this…. They did NOT belong to my friend, supposedly they were her mother in laws. Reguardless no one is taking this as serious as I feel it is!! Should thinking maybe I should just give them back!!"

Remove These:

Have you're frond's mother-in-law remove these from her Apple Account. If you don't then they'll keep being tracked (through the device these are connected to. AirPods are not assigned their own IP Address.
