Mark AirPods as lost
If you misplace your AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro (1st generation), or AirPods Max, you can mark them as lost and create a message that provides your contact information.
If you have AirPods Pro (2nd generation), you can also separately mark each of your AirPods and the case as lost, in case you just lose one or your AirPods are separated from the case. (iOS 16, iPadOS 16.1, macOS 13, or later required.)
On your device, do one of the following:
iPhone or iPad: Open the Find My app , tap Devices, tap the name of your AirPods, then below Mark as Lost, tap Activate.
Apple Watch: Open the Find Devices app , tap a device, tap Lost Mode, then turn on Lost Mode.
Mac: Open the Find My app , click devices, select your AirPods, click , then click Activate.
Follow the onscreen directions.
Note: To mark your AirPods as lost, the Find My network must be on before AirPods are lost. See Turn on the Find My network.
