We’ve all experienced that moment of panic when we lose a valuable item. For AirPods owners, the feeling is all too familiar. The small size and portability of AirPods make them extremely handy, but also easy to lose.
How Leapp helps you
At leapp, we strive to make your life with Apple products as smooth and carefree as possible. That's why we not only give you tips on how to find your lost AirPods, but also advise you on the best accessories to keep track of your AirPods.
Steps to Find Your Lost AirPods
It’s easy to lose your AirPods, but luckily there are ways to track them down. Both Apple’s Find My feature and the Find My app can help. Here are the steps from both methods combined:
- Open the 'Find My' or 'Find My' app on your iPhone , iPad or iPod touch.
- Go to the 'Devices' tab.
- Select your AirPods from the list.
- On the map you can see the location of your AirPods.
- Still not sure where to look? Choose Play Sound and you’ll hear the sound once your AirPods are connected.
Note: These methods will only work if your AirPods are within Bluetooth range of one of your Apple devices and if they are connected.
How to prevent losing your AirPods in the future?
- Invest in AirPods accessories like cases with keychains or neck straps.
- Always keep your AirPods in their case.
- Make it a habit to keep your AirPods in the same place.
Accessories to prevent loss of AirPods
Prevention is better than cure. That’s why it’s wise to invest in accessories that can prevent the loss of your AirPods. Here are some recommendations:
- AirPods cases: A case not only protects your AirPods from scratches and bumps, but can also help make them more visible. For example, choose a striking color or a case with a striking design.
- Keychains: With a keychain, you can easily attach your AirPods to your key ring, bag or jacket pocket. This way, you're less likely to lose them and you always have them at hand.
- Anti-lost straps: These handy straps connect your AirPods together, so you won't lose them easily. Plus, you can wear the strap around your neck so your AirPods are always within reach.
Tips and tricks to effectively search and find your AirPods
If, despite the Find My app and handy accessories, you still manage to misplace your AirPods, there are a few more tips and tricks you can use to effectively search for and locate your AirPods:
- Start at the beginning: Try to remember where you last used your AirPods and start your search from that location.
- Check your surroundings: Look around you and notice places where you might easily miss your AirPods, such as under furniture, in clothing pockets, or between cushions.
- Ask for help: Enlist the help of friends or family members to help you search. After all, four eyes see more than two.
- Make a plan: Set up a systematic search by dividing your search area into smaller zones and going through them one by one.
