Find My AirPods
Lost an AirPod, earbud, or charging case? Choose what is missing and where you last used it to get a practical search plan. The page also checks browser Bluetooth support and points you to signal tracking when the device is nearby and powered on.
Best first steps
If the earbuds are powered on, use the paired phone or laptop to play a sound first. If they are offline, focus on the last connected location, pockets, bags, car seats, bedding, couch seams, laundry, and charging areas before expanding the search.
Frequently asked questions
Can a website find my AirPods?
A website cannot access Apple's Find My network. It can provide a search workflow and, in supported browsers, request nearby Bluetooth devices. Native apps have better access to signal tracking.
Can AirPods be found if they are dead?
If earbuds are powered off, out of battery, or inside a closed case, Bluetooth signal tracking may not work. Use last known location, recent rooms, and physical search steps.
What should I do first when I lose AirPods?
Check the last connected device, play a sound if available, search the last-used room, inspect soft surfaces and pockets, then expand outward slowly.
Can this find one missing earbud?
Yes, the checklist has a one-earbud workflow. Signal tracking depends on whether the missing earbud is powered on and broadcasting.
Does this work for non-Apple earbuds?
The checklist works for most Bluetooth earbuds and headphones. Bluetooth detection depends on the device being powered on, nearby, and discoverable.
