It always seems hard until you try it.
Apple’s AirPods not only have top-notch sound quality, but also it’s very suitable for travel. AirPods cases are designed to fit your pocket and journey with you.
However, AirPods’ design comes with a flaw. One can easily lose the earpiece or forget the place they put it before sleep. All AirPods users, including myself, faced similar situations on several occasions.
Apple has invented the Find My application to eliminate this problem once and for all. Using this application, you can track all your Apple devices, even offline.
But how can you add your devices in Find My?
Very easy. You can add AirPods to the Find My application for iPhone using only two simple steps. So waste no time and follow the steps below.
Overview of Find My application
Apple merged Find My Friends and the Find My iPhone into the Find My application. Since the release of iOS-13, this application has been available on Apple devices like Mac, iPhone, and iPad. This new Find My application now has an advanced feature to locate any offline Apple device too.
This offline tracking is particularly important for Macs because often, your laptops are folded in a bag, in sleep mode, or no longer in any network.
The way Find My works is really cool. Any Apple device sends out a secure beacon that can be detected by other people’s Apple devices nearby. And those devices relay your device’s locations to the network and ultimately to you.
The fantastic thing is this whole process is end-to-end encrypted and anonymous. And this process consumes almost no battery or bandwidth.
