No option to mark AirPods Pro as lost

AirPods Pro are supposed to have the option to mark as lost, but it does not appear in “Find my” for me. Running the latest iOS.


Is there a way to make available the option to put them in lost mode?


Thanks!

Thank you for the photo.


Methods of Locating Lost AirPods:


I. About AirPods and Find My:

If Find My was enabled with these, then note that the local shown is based off of the last time the device they were connected to that itself was connected to the internet. This is because AirPods are not assigned their own IP Address.


II. What to Try:

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:

Chick 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.
