So, I read an article this Christmas about turning on “left behind” on your AirPod Pros. I didn’t realise this was a thing. However when I go into the settings I can’t turn it on. This is all I see..

Also, went to see if it was on for my Apple Watch series 6 and ye, also greyed out. Can’t turn it on. I went into settings on my Apple Watch to turn it on and I get this message -

What is going on, why can’t I turn these on? I have find my on on my iPhone and iCloud settings.
 
What does it say when you scroll down on your Apple Watch, I believe you need two factor authentication setup on your account to enable these features.

That’s all it says. There is just a button that says dismiss. I have 2 factor authentication set up on my iCloud account. That’s the weird thing, there is nothing to set up!
 
Hmm strange, the only other thing I can see is if a device doesn’t have a password set or the password is a weak password.

In settings > iCloud > password and security - it’s not suggesting any recommendations?

Nope all fine.. Have no idea what’s going on! Maybe I should just contact apple. But it’s just constantly - oh can you reset your device and reconnect it. Ye like I haven’t tried that already! Haha
