How to add AirPods to Find My iPhone?
To add your AirPods to Find My iPhone, you need to pair them with your iPhone first. If you have already done that, skip to step 4.

- With your AirPods connected to your iPhone, open the Settings app and tap your AirPods.
- Scroll down and if the toggle next to Find My network is not turned on, tap it to enable Find My (the toggle will be green and positioned to the right if it is turned on). If your AirPods are second-generation or older, this toggle will not appear.
