Have you lost track of your AirPods? If you’re having trouble locating them on your Find My app, don’t panic. While AirPods are small and can be easily misplaced, there are a few things you can do to make them visible on your device.

First, open up your settings and activate your location service. Then, tap on location alert and toggle it on. Make sure your share last location is also turned on for Find My to share your last location for every device you have.
