How to Find My AirPods Case if it Is Not Appearing on “Find My iPhone?”

How the find my iPhone feature works
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen, the Find My iPhone app can help you find it and protect your data. You can also use Find My iPhone to locate your Mac if it’s lost or stolen.
When you turn on Find My iPhone, iCloud automatically backs up your device so you can restore its information if it becomes lost or stolen.
To use Find My iPhone, sign in to iCloud.com from a computer or another iOS device. If you’re using an iOS device, you can also open the Find My iPhone app.
Once signed in, click on the “All Devices” drop-down menu at the top of the screen. Select the device you want to locate.
Find My iPhone will show you the device’s current location on a map. You can also use the “Actions” menu to play a sound on the device, remotely lock it, or erase it.
If the device is online, you can also see its current battery level and whether or not Find My iPhone is currently enabled.
If the device is offline, you’ll see the last known location of the device and the date and time it was last located. You can also choose to have to Find My iPhone notify you when the device comes back online.
Keep in mind that Find My iPhone won’t work if your device is turned off or if Airplane Mode is turned on. Also, if your device has been erased, Find My iPhone won’t be able to locate it.
If you’re using Find My iPhone to locate a lost or stolen device, you can put it into Lost Mode. This will lock the device and display a custom message on the screen. You can also choose to have to Find My iPhone play a sound on the device so you can hear it if it’s nearby.
Lost Mode also suspends any credit or debit cards that are associated with Apple Pay on the device. This way, even if someone has your device, they won’t be able to use Apple Pay to make purchases.
You can turn off Lost Mode by entering your password on the device or by signing in to iCloud.com and clicking “Stop Lost Mode.” Keep in mind that you’ll need to enter your passcode on the device to turn off Lost Mode.
If you can’t find your device or think it might be stolen, you can remotely erase all of the data on it. This will delete everything on the device, including your apps, photos, and videos. It will also disable any payments that are associated with Apple Pay.
To do this, sign in to iCloud.com and click on the “All Devices” drop-down menu at the top of the screen. Select the device you want to erase and click “Erase Device.”
You’ll be asked to confirm that you want to erase the device. Once you do, all of the data on it will be erased and you won’t be able to track it.
If you later find your device, you can restore the data from your most recent backup.
Erasing a device is permanent and cannot be undone, so make sure you only do this as a last resort.
