Apple’s AirPods are among the most well-liked accessories at the moment. When compared to other wireless headphones, they’re not only robust but also excellent-sounding and portable. Typically, the MagSafe charging case for AirPods is used for charging.
Losing your dead or offline AirPods can be a big bummer, as they can be hard to find. You know how frustrating it may be to look for your lost AirPods if you’ve ever misplaced them.

What Does It Mean if AirPods Are Offline?
I’ve been in situations where I’ve lost one or both of my AirPods, and it’s always frustrating when I can’t locate them. Before we begin, let’s clarify what “Offline” or “No Location Found” means. This message appears when your AirPods aren’t connected to your iPhone, or if they’re out of range of any of your Apple devices.
To locate lost AirPods, you’ll need to use the Find My app on your iPhone. Open the app and select “Devices” at the bottom of the screen. Then choose your AirPods from the list of devices. If your AirPods are within range of any of your Apple devices, you’ll be able to see their location on a map.
If they’re out of range, the app will show you the last known location. From there, you can try to retrace your steps and locate your AirPods.
You have a dead or offline pair of AirPods if they’re out of range of your iDevice or run out of battery. You’ll receive a “No Location Found” notification if the Find My app is unable to locate your AirPods.
Your best chance of finding your AirPods in this situation will be to use the Find My app to check their most recent location. As you can see, the worst-case situation that has to be taken more seriously is losing AirPods when they’re dead or offline.
Can Dead AirPods in Bluetooth Range Be Found?
Use the Find My app to discover the last place your AirPods were when they died and if they were still within Bluetooth range.
If someone took the dead AirPods before you could obtain them, you’ll have a good chance of finding them with this kind of information.
When Is the “Find My” App Best to Use?
As was already established, the Find My app functions best when you have a pair of charged AirPods that have been misplaced outside of their charging case. Since the Find My app needs to use Bluetooth to find them, dead or offline AirPods are challenging to find.
You can still locate your AirPods if they are missing after a brief period of time by using their last known location data. If it was lost after a considerable amount of time, it would be difficult to locate them using the app. However, you can always try manually locating your AirPods.
Will AirPods Show the Last Location?
Your Find My App, which comes pre-installed in all Apple devices, can show the last known location of your AirPods if they’re out of range.
You can just find the app on your phone, iPad, or Macbook and choose your AirPods in the last devices. A map will pop up and show you your AirPods’ last location.
Recall your Last Steps
Losing your AirPods can be quite stressful and may lead to unneeded panic. What you can do is take a deep breath and think back to the last few steps you took the day your AirPods were misplaced. There’s a good chance you can still find them if you lost them around your home or in a neighboring area.
You can also search through some potential hiding places. See whether you just forgot to charge your AirPods in the locations where you spend the majority of your time sitting. Your AirPods might be gone forever if you’ve looked in every possible location or object.
Can Someone Use Stolen AirPods?
Once AirPods have been reset, you can no longer track them.
If your AirPods have been stolen and then reset, it would be infinitely more difficult to track their location using the Find My App. However, you can mark your AirPods as “lost” by going to the Find My App. Apple will then ask for your contact information, and you can create a message for whoever finds your device.
