How to Disable 'AirPods Nearby' Notifications for known AirPods

I’ve been living with my girlfriend for a month now, and since last week, I get a notification every day that says, 'AirPods found nearby.' I know they belong to her because we go to the gym together every day, and as soon as I get home, the notification pops up and the “followed” path shows the way to the gym and back.

How can I disable this for her airpods?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 17

How do I end the Airpod tracking notification on airpods I have borrowed I have borrowed an old pair of airpod pros from someone in my family and I keep getting notifications saying I have an unknown device following me. I don't really care about the tracking part, its no secret where I am or what I am doing but how do I stop the daily notification that an unknown device is with me and the airpods random dinging at various points of the day?

"AirPods detected moving with you" notification is sent to other devices. My location movements are obviously shared with people I don't know. What kind of privacy breach is this? The notification “AirPods detected moving with you” is being sent to people around me. My friends are not added via the Find My app, nor do I have Family Sharing enabled. However, this notification is still being sent to people around me, and possibly even to strangers. When the people who receive this notification click on the alert, they can see my movements on a map (through my AirPods) and can track me quite accurately. I do not want to turn off my ‘location’ or ‘Find My device’ settings, as doing so doesn’t solve the problem, it just prevents me from seeing it. Even if I can’t see it, others still receive the notification. It’s unsettling not knowing who can access my AirPods’ location. Is there a way to stop this? Why are my AirPods sending my movements to devices they aren’t even connected to? I would appreciate your support, as this doesn’t make me feel safe.

How to disable my iPad from connecting to random airpods I do not own airpods. Never have. My iPad has never been connected to airpods. However- while using my iPad, even with bluetooth turned off, I will receive notifications asking if I want to connect to someone's airpods. It's very annoying, and happens during flights constantly. How can I change the setting on my iPad so it stops doing this? All the workarounds I've seen involve changing settings for MY airpods... which is not possible since I don't have any. I want the notifications to stop. How can I manage this?
