FAQs on Finding an AirPods Case:

Is it worth marking your AirPods case as lost?

• For AirPods (3rd Gen), AirPods Pro, or AirPods Max, Lost Mode can be activated via the Find My app, but it only applies to the AirPods themselves. However, AirPods Pro 2 allows marking each pod and the case as lost individually. When activated, your phone number will be visible to whoever finds it once connected to an Apple device, triggering a notification if connected via Bluetooth. Though Lost Mode doesn’t prevent use, it’s advisable to turn it on for iCloud data security.
