Got a notification saying "Airpods seen moving with you", but I don't have airpods and I was sleeping at the time the airpods were moving. I'm a little concerned. What can I do?

Hi there,

If you received one of those alerts on your iPhone, it means an item compatible with the Find My network could be traveling with you, and the owner may be able to see its location. This could be an AirTag, AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max or a Find My network accessory from manufacturers other than Apple. In your case, it seems to be AirPods.

How is it possible someone connected to my iphone without having the phone?

AirPods can track their own location without being paired to your device.

While false positives are always a possibility, I strongly suggest you read the following guide to locate, identify, and disable the item that may be following you: What to do if you get an alert that an AirTag, Find My network accessory or set of AirPods is with you – Apple Support (UK)

Stay safe.

It's not your lost AirTag.

There was somebody else nearby with AirPods, presumably on a bus, train, car, plane, tandem bicycle, whatever.

Any moderate- or longer-duration trip with other people nearby can see these reports.

The AirPods were not paired with your iPhone.

If the AirPods are no longer being reported as nearby, whatever traveler was nearby is no longer.

The previously-linked Apple Support article is a good starting point for better understanding.
