I have lost my AirPods and when I go in the “Find My Phone” app my AirPods device is not there. What should I do to find them?
How can I find my AirPods if they are offline from the “ Find my IPhone “ app?

If your AirPods are offline
If you didn't turn on Find My [device] before your AirPods went missing, you can't use it to locate your device. If you see "No location found" under your AirPods, you can't play a sound to find them but you might be able to get directions to the location where they were last connected. If your AirPods do come back online, you'll get a notification on the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch you use them with.
Find My is the only way that you can track or locate a lost or missing device. There is no other Apple service that can find, track, or otherwise flag your device for you.
If you're using a Managed Apple ID assigned to you by a school or institution, you don’t have access to Find My.
