Try and resolve the issue by following these steps


If you still get the alert, try these troubleshooting steps:

  1. Update to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS. Some AirPods and some Find My features work only with the latest software version.
  2. Make sure that you turned on Find My: In Settings, tap your name > Find My, then tap Find My iPhone. Make sure that both Find My iPhone and Find My network are turned on.
  3. Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on and Find My network is turned on for your AirPods:
    • Settings > Bluetooth, and make sure it's turned on.
    • Then tap the More Info button  next to your AirPods. Scroll down and make sure that Find My network is turned on.
  1. If you haven't, turn on two-factor authentication for your Apple ID.
  2. If you haven't, turn on iCloud Keychain.
  3. In Settings, check for an alert to Update Apple ID Settings. If there's an alert, follow the prompts to complete setup.
  4. Close the lid of your charging case, wait a few moments, then open the lid again.

After about a minute, pairing should be complete and the alert should no longer appear.

Still not working? Remove your AirPods: In Find My, tap Devices, choose your AirPods, then tap Remove this Device. Then go to the Home Screen of your iPhone and open the lid of your charging case to reconnect your AirPods.
