If your AirPods are stolen, you should take the following steps: Report the theft to the police: Provide as much information as possible, including the serial number, which can be found on the original packaging or your Apple account.
Unfortunately, Apple Warranty or AppleCare+ do not cover lost and stolen AirPods. So, to replace missing AirPods, you will need to purchase a new pair from Apple. However, you don't need to buy a new pair just yet! There are still ways you can get your AirPods back.
If you misplace your AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro (1st generation), or AirPods Max, you can mark your AirPods as lost and create a message that provides your contact information.
When using Bluetooth (through the ''Find My'' function's ''Play Sound'' feature on your iPhone), AirPods emit a ringing noise to signal their specific location. You will also be able to locate your AirPods if somebody else is connected to them.
"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).
While the police cannot track your stolen AirPods, you can by using the “Find My” app and can then share the location with the police.
Nonetheless, Find My AirPods only works when the AirPods are outside the case and able to emit Bluetooth signals. So, if they get turned off or run out of battery, their location won't update, making it difficult to track their exact location at any point in time.
Hello ~ The best thing to do is turn them in to your local law enforcement department. The owners are most likely to check there.
Note: If people use your AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro (all generations), or AirPods Max with multiple Apple IDs, only the person who turned on the Find My network can see them in the Find My app. You may also get an alert if someone else's AirPods are traveling with you.
Unfortunately, there's no way you can block your lost or stolen AirPods from getting used by another person. The AirPods do not connect to Wi-Fi, which means you cannot remotely control them or lock them.
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. Not only AirPods Pro but all other AirPods also cannot be tracked after being reset.
In order for the AirPods owner to attempt to locate them, they need to be charged, not in their charging case, or have been reset. One other option would be for you to enable "Find My Network" on your iPhone (if you have one, it would be enabled by default).
Because the AirPods are out of battery, it won't be able to transmit the signal needed to display its location. However, you can still use the Find My app to find its last known location and place it in Lost Mode in case it's found by someone else.
Using the Find My app: Once in pairing range: Tap AirPods > Remove This Device > Remove. Using iCloud: On iCloud.com: Find My > All Devices > AirPods > Remove from Account > Remove. You can't remove AirPods from someone else's Apple ID. Only the owner of the Apple ID can remove them.
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.
Use Find My App to Determine the Last Known Location of Your AirPods, Even If They're Dead and Offline. If you lost your AirPods while still charged, you can easily find their current location using the Find My app on your iPhone.
You can turn on the Find My network to see the location of some AirPods models even when they're out of range from your device. If the Find My network is turned off (or if your AirPods don't support the Find My network), the Find My app shows the last time and place they were connected. See Turn on the Find My network.
If your AirPods Max are in their case, your iPhone can find them for up to 18 hours. If they're outside of the smart case, you'll have 72 hours to connect to them and trigger the sound. After finding your AirPods, take a few minutes to ensure that you can find your iPhone should you ever lose it.
If you've misplaced your AirPods earbuds along with the case, launch the Find My app and select your AirPods in the "Devices" list. Tap Find. It should say "Nearby" underneath if the Precision Finding feature is available.
