Here’s how to find your lost AirPods using your iPhone or another iOS or iPadOS device with Find My enabled.

How to Find Your AirPods on a Mac
You can also use the Find My application installed on your Mac to find your AirPods.
How to Make Lost AirPods Play a Sound
If your lost AirPods are near any of your Apple devices and connected to Bluetooth, you can play a sound to help find them. Here’s how:
What to Do if You Can’t Locate Lost AirPods
There are a few reasons why you’ll get a No Location Found message when you’re trying to find your lost AirPods. If you didn’t turn on Find My before your AirPods went missing, you won’t be able to locate them. If your AirPods aren’t charged, they won’t be found until they’re recharged. If they’re out of range of your iOS device, they won’t appear. If you see the No Location Found message, you can’t play a sound to find your AirPods, but you might be able to get directions to the location where they were last connected. We hate to say it, but if all of this doesn’t work, you might need to look at purchasing new AirPods. If you’re over it with Apple, however, there are plenty of other great wireless earbuds on the market to get you back on track, too. If you’ve only lost one AirPod, you can buy a replacement from Apple and then connect the replacement AirPod.
