Handy Hudsonite here.
How do you locate your AirPods or I'm going to show you how to locate
all the different types of AirPods?
Let's go into settings to make sure that we have our
"Find My” app. Just go in here and check the find my go to Find My iPhone.
Make sure these are all toggled on.
These will help in trying to locate your AirPods and your phone.
So, you can see here that I have my different AirPods in here.
AirPods regular (1st and 2nd generation) that we'll go into first,
and this is where we're going to come into.
You can see.
That you can look for your AirPods.
It gives you directions for AirPods
1st and 2nd generation, but it's not very accurate.
We can play a sound here to locate the AirPods.
And where are my my AirPods?
Well, I've found my missing AirPod under here.
This is obviously the 1st and 2nd generation AirPods
that have the ability to hear the sound, but you cannot find them.
Exactly with the find my app, so I'll turn off the sound here.
And we'll go in here and just look at the sound that these do make,
and they make the chirping noise.
They're each making it right now, but with regular AirPods, the 1st and 2nd generation,
the case does not make any noise, so let's go in here and check out my AirPods Pro.
How can we find
these? You can set a left behind
setting on AirPods Pro and AirPods 3 where it will
notify you if you leave it behind.
OK, let's go in here.
This is a little different than the 1st and 2nd generation AirPods.
This actually
uses a “U chip” to help you to find where they are, as long as you're in Bluetooth range.
It looks like we've come up on my AirPods Pro case, there it is underneath the dish,
so that's how you can find the AirPods Pro case.
Now that I've located my first and second generation AirPods, my pros.
Let's locate my AirPods 3.
I'm going to do the same thing.
I'm going to activate this finder.
It might take a few seconds up to a minute to
toggle this for locating and you do have to be within Bluetooth range,
so make sure you are within that range which is about anywhere 15 to 30 feet says I'm near
and when you get really close it will tell you here and let's see where my AirPods 3 case is.
It's under here.
And that's the difference between the older AirPods is it will actually locate your
case so you can also play the sound for the AirPods 3,
it will make the same chirping sound so that you can find your AirPods if they get separated.
So that's how you find your AirPods 3.
You can and one different thing with these, as I mentioned before,
with the pros and AirPods 3.
The case itself will actually make a noise, whereas in the older generations it won't.
So, as you can see, my older generations just give you directions
and doesn't really show you this precise way of locating, and in fact,
if you only have one AirPod in the case for your pros and your AirPods 3, it'll highlight
which AirPod is still in the case there, the "L" with the white circle around it indicates that
my left-side
AirPod is still in the case.
And you'll notice that this feature does not work for locating just one of the AirPods.
It's for the case itself. To locate single AirPods, you still have to
use the sound to find where that AirPod has been lost.
Just like with the older AirPods, so that's how you can locate it. To compare -
we're going to look at my Handy Hudsonite tag,
my AirTag, and just to show you the difference in the way this locates with the tag.
It does give you a little bit more specific direction.
With the distance in feet all the way down to where you
can see it, so there's my tag and I hope this has been helpful for you.
I'll see you in the next video.
