    Find My cannot find my AirPods Pro 2

    Does Find My work with your AirPods Pro 2? I thought I lost my AirPods Pro 2 during recent taxi ride. Find My showed the last GPS coordinates of the AirPods 30 miles from my house. The function of playing sound from the charging case did not work. I had already said goodbye to my AirPods. But...

    iPhone 16 Pro Find My iPhone battery drain is a “feature”

    I’ve been using my new 16 Pro for a couple of days and noticed the location icon almost always on with occasionally being off. I checked within settings and it turned out to be Find My trying to get locations all the time. I wrote to apple just to letting me know it is a “feature” of iOS 18.1...

    Findmy not updating automatically

    Since updating to Sequoia, I notice that Find My won't update people's location unless you click on each one singularly. It also means the Widgets aren't updating either. It still updates correctly in iPad and iPhone.

    Why won't MB Air M1 show in 'Find My' app?

    I misplaced my MacBook Air in the house. Grabbed my iPhone and launched the Find My app. MB Air was not on the list of devices. iPad Pro, iPhone, Mac Studio are all there. But for some reason no MB Air. I appreciate your advice on how to get this fixed. Thanks

    I haven't see anyone else post about this yet. Every time I leave home I get notifications about devices being left behind. I've gone through at least half a dozen times and made sure my home address is in the exclusion (don't notify if left here) yet I still get them every time. Anyone...

    iPhone Trust hotel room in Find My until a certain date

    Does Find My have the ability to trust a location like a hotel room temporarily until a certain date? If I go on vacation and leave some of my devices in the hotel room, I get a notification on my phone or watch saying they've been left behind. I vaguely remember Find My having a feature to...

    Xiaomi Smart Tag

    Has anyone got experience of using one of the Xiaomi Smart Tags - which claim compatibility with Apple's Find My - in the real world? At £6.34 (plus vat plus shipping if order is less than £8), they appear to be very good value. For my current purposes, I'm not concerned if they are not quite...

    Universal Find My… Friends Not Updating

    Over the last week or two, Find My is not updating the location of people regularly. It’s not specific people, either. It’s everyone in my list of people. I’ll go in there, and it’ll have the last location as 22 hours ago ago or other random times. It won’t start updating their location(s) until...

    15 Pro Find My Battery Drain

    Around 10% per night goes to Find My. I have an automation that turns off AID/ turns on battery saving during the night. Yet I’m losing 10+% on Find My. Initially I thought it’s because of my AirPods staying out of the case. But it’s not, I haven’t used the AirPods last night and still lost...

    Recovered my stolen iPhone 14 pro today (6/20/23)

    I got my stolen iPhone back today and thought sharing the story could help others in the same situation since there’s surprisingly little info on the ins and outs of how exactly Find My with a modern iPhone works. The story’s also pretty good. Ok so I went out hiking at Buttermilk Falls near a...

    iPhone SE (2020) iPhone lost for over a week

    This is not so much a question but request for advice. I lost my iPhone SE 2nd gen. last Friday. It shows up in FindMy in the same location I lost it. The battery died before I could mark it as lost, so that's still "pending" in FindMy. It hasn't appeared online since, and nobody spent the...

    Find My delays? (Feb/Mar 2023)

    Anyone else notice that Find My - on some/most devices - is very delayed? Example - from my Mac, half of my devices show last seen between 5 minutes ago and hours ago, even though they're online, right next to me. This has been occurring for at least the past month.

    Full list of every Find My network-enabled accessory

    Howdy Folks, I've been trying to find a list of every "Find My" enabled product ever since Apple started accepting third-party products to use the network. I looked far and wide for such a list but I could not find anything worthwhile. The closest I've found was a blog post claiming they have...

    AirPods Pro 2 - Find my bugged?

    I just received new pair of AirPods Pro gen 2 and they are wonderful. But I’ve noticed that for some reason when I’ve wanted to test Find My functionality it’s seems off. - First I have only “play sound” and “directions” buttons. I thought that it will also have “find nearby” function like...
