Find something with an airtag? Find one airpod or lost yours?
Or have a story about how you reunited someone with their lost Apple device through FindMy.
Lost and/or Found Apple devices!

Hi everyone. My AirPods have been lost for almost a week now. I know they are at home somewhere, but I have not been able to locate them. I was looking on the Find My app for any updates, but since they were in their case the last time I saw them, I have not had any luck. The Find My app has been showing me their last location when they were in their case. However, there was a recent update. The Find My app changed their status to "Outside of case," and it lets me see both the right and left earbuds still in the same location as before. This leads me to believe that either the case battery ran out or that wherever they are, they have fallen out of the case. Regardless, I tried to play a sound from the app, and it would not connect to my AirPods. Why was this? Any and all answers are welcome!
I use find my on my kids phones. Is there a way to access a location history using findmy? I know google does this with a feature called location history.
I'm an Android user. If I'm out drinking with my friends and one of them loses their iPhone, so they get it marked as Lost Mode on iCloud, will the Android Tracker Detect app by Apple be able to help find it? Or alternatively, would the friend be able to share access using a browser view and not be required to use a native app, through the iCloud interface?
We managed to track the iPhone using screenshots of a map and traced it to a trusty bartender, but we would like to know for the future.
Thanks
Edit: I guess maybe next time I can open iCloud.com and have them sign in incognito mode on a browser, but there should be a quick way to share a link from the device.
Hi,
Today by surprise I suddenly found an additional device in my Apple FindMy device list. It is a Macbook Air located more than 2,000 miles away from my living area. I had a Macbook Air, but was properly wiped and traded-in to Apple around a year ago.
How can I delete it from list? How can I alert the laptop owner? How can I be sure that my devices are not compromised?
Thanks
