AirPods Pro Not Showing Up in Find My on iPhone 18 Pro, How to Fix

Some AirPods Pro model owners have complained that their AirPods Pro are not appearing in Find My. Find My is a feature of iCloud that helps you locate your Apple devices when they are lost. It is important that you set up Find My on all of your compatible Apple devices. How you set up Find My on AirPods is rather easy. Your AirPods Pro will automatically show up in Find My after you turn on Find My on your paired iPhone 18 Pro. If you can’t see your AirPods in Find My, then you won’t be able to find your AirPods and play sound to help locate them.

Basic AirPods Pro Find My troubleshooting steps

You should first try these steps:

• Ensure that Find My is enabled for AirPods. Here is how you can check:
  1. On your paired iPhone, open Settings.
  2. Tap the name of your AirPods near the top of the screen.
  3. Scroll down, then turn on Find My Network (if you don’t see that option, first tap Find My).
• Make sure that your iPhone 18 Pro is running the latest version of iOS. You need to go to Settings > General > Software Update to do this.
• Restart your iPhone 18 Pro.
• Turn on Airplane Mode on your iPhone, wait 30 seconds, then turn it off.
