Can You Blacklist Lost or Stolen AirPods? No, there is currently no way to block lost or stolen AirPods from being used by someone else. You can track and locate them using the Apple 'Find My' service, and even attach a message to the AirPods using Lost Mode, but you can't lock them.
On iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings , tap the name of your AirPods near the top of the screen, then turn Automatic Ear Detection on or off.
AirPods are only trackable if they are still connected to your iPhone. You can activate lost mode on AirPods, displaying a custom message whenever someone connects to them without resetting.
Unfortunately, the answer is No. You cannot track your AirPods Pro once reset. Although Apple introduced the 'Find My AirPods' feature, it won't work when someone steals and resets your AirPods Pro.
This alert will display only if a set of AirPods or a Find My network accessory is detected near you, not an AirTag. These could be borrowed AirPods, or AirPods inadvertently left behind by a friend or family member.
"Track" the AirPods? If they're lost, then the distance from you doesn't matter. If you mean how far they can be from the device used to supply their signal, then that is the standard Bluetooth distance which is about 40 feet (10 meters).
Similarly, if another Apple device, most commonly AirPods, are within your vicinity for a period of time and have tried unsuccessfully to pair with your device, you may receive an “Unknown Accessory Detected Near You” or “AirPods Detected” notification.
If you are getting the “AirPods Pro Detected Near You” alert on your phone, the first thing to do is to forget and reset your AirPods Pro. You will first have to forget it from your phone and then hard reset your AirPods.
To discourage people from tracking other people or belongings that don't belong to them, Apple sends users notifications if they detect any AirTag, AirPods, or other Find My Accessory that has been separated from their owner and is seen moving with another user.
On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Notifications > Announce Notifications. Tap Messages. Select either Time Sensitive and Direct Messages or All Notifications.
Resetting your AirPods takes a bit of battery power. So if your AirPods are low on charge, they might not have enough energy to reset. That's why it's essential to make sure you fully charge your AirPods before you attempt to reset them.
Blinking orange or amber
The status light flashes amber on your AirPods, indicating that the AirPods are experiencing a pairing error. This could be caused by several issues, like an incorrect pairing between your AirPods and the Device you're attempting to use them with, outdated firmware, or low battery levels.
Anything that interferes with the charging mode of AirPods case has something to do with this red exclamation mark error on the AirPods.
If your AirPods are in your case and the lid is open, then the light shows the charge status of your AirPods. When your AirPods aren't in your case, the light shows the status of your case. Green means fully charged, and amber means less than one full charge remains.
What is this? Real AirPods do not emit blue light – the LED inside can only produce white, green, or amber colors. This is quite a common occurrence, with some “AirPods” users have reportedly seeing a blue light on their earbuds. Similarly, a green light on the earbuds is also an indication of fake AirPods.
The status light on the AirPod case stays on for 8 seconds after it's placed on charge.
This is where the button on the back of the case comes in. Once pressed with the earbuds in the case, the button acts as a way for the AirPods to enter a pairing mode, allowing users of a non-Apple device to connect to them.
You can charge your case with or without your AirPods inside. Charging is fastest when you use an iPhone or iPad USB charger or plug into your Mac.
Green: When the LED turns green, it means the case is fully charged, or the AirPods are fully charged. Amber: Also referred to as orange, the LED will turn this color when the AirPods case is charging, or the AirPods are charging. Flashing white: When the LED is blinking white, it's ready to be paired via Bluetooth.
