Find nearby doesn’t work for my airpods pro 3

Find nearby doesn’t work for my AirPods Pro 3. It says that the AirPods connected but that the signal is weak. It will play a sound but I can never get past this screen


I have an iPhone 15 pro max running 26.1. The AirPods are also up to date. I’ve reset both the phone and the AirPods.


any ideas?

  • "Find My" needs to be turned on before AirPods go missing, in order for AirPods to be found.


  • You might want to try turning Bluetooth off and back on to see if that helps

A few of the tips from: Find your AirPods - Apple Support

Eg: says:


  • To locate your AirPods, you must turn on Find My on a paired device (such as your iPhone or Mac) before they’re lost. See Turn on the Find My network.


  • You can turn on the Find My network to see the location of some AirPods models even when they’re out of range of your device. If the Find My network is turned off (or if your AirPods don’t support the Find My network), the Find My app shows the last time and place they were connected.


  • If your AirPods are out of range or need to charge, you might see their last known location, “No location found,” or “Offline” in Find My. If they come back online, you get a notification on devices you paired with them."

Yet, does seem the main issue is the weak signal your iPhone is receiving at that location.


Maybe try wherever your Wi-Fi or cellular network signal is the strongest.
