What if I Can’t Find My AirPods in One of the Devices?

If you can’t find your AirPods in one of the devices, there are a few things you can try.

First, try disconnecting and reconnecting the AirPods in your device’s Bluetooth settings. If that fails, try resetting your AirPods. To reset them, hold down the setup button on the back of the charger case for at least 15 seconds until you see a confirmation message on your device’s screen. Once reset, you should be able to find and rename your AirPods again.

If all else fails, contact Apple Support for additional assistance. They may be able to help you locate and/or rename your AirPods remotely if necessary.
