How Your iPhone Now Guide You To Your Lost AirPods Pro – Guide
Apple has released a firmware update for the iPhone that brings within a foot of lost AirPods wireless buds. This new feature is called AirPods Pro and AirPods Max, but it is not available to those who have basic AirPods.
If you misplaced your AirPods, you could turn on the “play sound” option on your iPhone to listen for them. If they’re buried so deeply that you can’t hear them, then you could try using the “find my phone” app to find them. ..
How can you do that
To take advantage of this, your iPhone or iPad will need to be on iOS 15 and your AirPods Pro or Max will need the latest firmware. To check your current firmware, go to Settings > Bluetooth, find your AirPods in the device list and tap the little blue “i” next to it. On the next screen, look for the About panel and see what it says for Version. If you see anything other than “4A400,” you will need the new firmware. There’s nothing you can do to force the firmware update, but I found that after connecting my AirPods Pro, they performed the update in about 15 minutes.
If you have an AirPods Pro or AirPods Max, you can open the Find My app to find them. If the AirPods are tucked away in their box with the lid closed or if your AirPods Max is wrapped in its protective cover, they won’t work.
The screen changes to indicate the proximity of an item you are looking for. If you are far away, the screen will show a black screen and a small white circle. If you are close to the item, the screen will change to show a blue screen with a large white circle. You can activate the playback sound feature to help you focus on finding it.
Apple has added a new feature to Find My AirPods that allows you to mark them as lost. If someone finds them and tries to connect them to one of your AirPods, they’ll receive a notification with instructions about how to return them to their rightful owners. You can choose to be notified when they are found.
iOS 15 introduces a new feature called “notify when left behind.” This feature is designed to remind you when your device has been left behind. Before iOS 15, this feature only worked with certain devices, like Apple’s AirTags, but now also applies to AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. Currently, I can see this option for my headphones, but it’s dimmed and cannot be accessed but will likely be enabled coming soon.
Final note
