What is Find My and How does it work
You can find and track your Apple devices with the Find My app, a built-in program on Apple devices. It enables you to share the location of your Apple device with friends and family while simultaneously enabling them to share their location with you. The iPhone, iPad, and Mac all have access to the app. To make the most of it, though, all of your devices must be running the most recent OS. Certain Airpods will only function with these characteristics, and this will grant access to the newest features.

To locate your Apple devices and the people you’re sharing your location with, the Find My app combines GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. The Find My app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac makes a request to Apple’s servers to find your devices when it is launched. If the object or person has location services turned on and is online, their location is broadcast back to your device so you may view it on a map.
The device’s or user’s last known location is shown on the map if they are offline. You may also lock your misplaced device. This will display a message with your contact information and location by putting it in lost mode.

Finding your Lost Airpod by Using Find My App.
If you have the Find My app turned on on your iPhone or iPad and you lose your AirPod, you can use it to find it. Then click “Play Sound” after opening the app and choosing your AirPods. The AirPod will make a loud noise as a result, which can aid in locating it. Also, if it was taken, it would probably be far away from you. So, you could click on the location to find it on a map.
You can still use the FindMy app to see your AirPods last location even if they are off or dead. However, you can also use the Find nearby option which is right beside the “Play sound” option. This will look for your airport signals and connect to them. For this option, it has to be within the radius of your Bluetooth(roughly 80m). This means you’ll have to move around suspected places where your phone can catch faint signals.
Another way is that, when charged or turned on, your AirPods may automatically connect to your iPhone. Also other Apple device if they are off or dead. Watch for the “Connected” notification on your device, and when it appears. Then utilize the Locate My app’s “Play Sound” option to help you find them.
