If you’ve found a pair of AirPods and are wondering how to figure out who the owner is, you’re in luck. AirPods come with an awesome feature called “Find My” that allows you to locate and identify the owner of the device. Here’s what you need to know about using Find My with your AirPods:
First, make sure that your AirPods are connected to an iCloud account. If they are, then you can use Find My to track down the owner. To do this, open up your Find My app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and select “Devices” at the bottom of the screen. Tap on “AirPods” and it will show you a list of all available AirPods devices connected to your account. Select the one that matches the serial number written on the case of the AirPods that you found.
Once you have selected the device, you will be able to see where it is located as well as who owns it. You won’t be able to contact them directly but if it looks like it belongs to a friend or family member, then you can reach out and let them know that their missing AirPods have been found!
If your AirPods aren’t connected to any iCloud account then unfortunately there isn’t much else you can do in order to identify who they belong to. The best bet is to hand them in to local law enforcement so they can try and track down who owns them or post a message online asking if anyone has lost their AirPods recently in that area.

What to Do When Finding Someone’s AirPod
If you find someone’s AirPod, the best thing to do is to try and return it to its owner. First of all, check if there are any identifying features like a name written on the case or the AirPods themselves. If not, you can try to contact Apple Support and provide them with the serial number of the AirPods if available. They might be able to help you locate the owner’s contact information. Alternatively, you could also try listing them on online sites like Craigslist or Reddit in case someone recognizes them as theirs. Whichever method you choose, it is always nice to help return lost items back to their rightful owners.
The Consequences of Using Stolen AirPods
No, you cannot use stolen AirPods. AirPods do not have any password protection or other security measures to prevent them from being used by unauthorized users. If you find someone using stolen AirPods, they are breaking the law and could face legal consequences. Additionally, Apple Warranty or AppleCare+ do not cover lost and stolen AirPods, so if they are stolen, the rightful owner can no longer use them.
