why are my airpods saying they are being tracked when they are with me

My Airpod pros are on me at all times if the day, however they are sending me and other people i am on a trip with tracking notifications. Therefore allowing them to ping them whenever, this has led to beeping in the night waking me and my roommate up multiple times.


I have tried forgetting them in settings and re-connecting them but the problem is still there. They are mine and they have not been “swapped” at all. I have not lost them either as they are in the case. I have no idea what is happening!! Can anyone help? Or should I just go to an apple store? Thanks for the help! x

Hi SRICH08,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.


With your AirPods showing that you have a tracking notification, it would be best to reset your AirPods to re-establish the connection to your paired device.


1. Put your AirPods in their charging case, and close the lid.
2. Wait 30 seconds.
3. Open the lid of your charging case, and put your AirPods in your ears.
4. Go to Settings > Bluetooth. Or go to Settings > [your AirPods].
* If your AirPods appear there as connected, tap the More Info button  next to your AirPods, tap Forget This Device, then tap again to confirm.
* If your AirPods don't appear there, continue to the next step. 
7. Put your AirPods in their charging case, and keep the lid open. 
8. Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for about 15 seconds, until the status light on the front of the case flashes amber, then white.*

10. Reconnect your AirPods: With your AirPods in their charging case and the lid open, place your AirPods close to your iPhone or iPad. Follow the steps on your device's screen.
AirPods can be associated with one Apple ID. If you want to use AirPods (3rd generation) or AirPods Pro (1st or 2nd generation) that someone else has used, they first need to remove the AirPods from their Apple ID.
