Posted By : Anirudh Bhardwaj | 11-Dec-2017
Apple’s Airpods were introduced last year with the launch of iPhone 7 during the Keynote event. Ever since their launch, they have long been a matter of concern. Airpods are small and wireless and without the cord, they don’t have much mass either. So if by any chance, you lose any of these airpods somewhere, it will cost you a fortune. If we have a look at the probable scenarios, there are a number of ways you can lose your Airpods. Thankfully, Apple has finally added support for the Airpods in Find My iPhone app that will help you locate your missing Airpods using the app. The feature works with iOS 10.3 or later. If you have enabled Find My iPhone on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch that you use with your Airpods, it is automatically activated for your Airpods as well.
So if your Airpods are missing, you can use the app to locate them if they are somewhere close by. Even if they are out of range, the app can still help you by showing the last known location of the Airpods.
