Lost your AirPods? Device Tracker finds them by following their Bluetooth signal. Watch the signal get stronger as you get closer, until you're right next to them. It works with AirPods, Apple Watch, headphones, earbuds, speakers, fitness trackers and most other Bluetooth devices, as long as they're switched on and nearby. How It Works 1. Open Device Tracker and allow Bluetooth 2. Choose the device you're looking for 3. Walk around and follow the radar: more bars means closer 4. Turn on vibration and sound to feel and hear when you're getting closer Features • Live radar: see whether a device is very close, near, far or very far, with its signal strength updated in real time • Lock Screen and Dynamic Island: keep following the device with your iPhone locked • Notify when found: get a notification when a missing device comes back into range • Last-seen places: see on a map where each device was last seen, with its sighting history • Nearby: a radar of all the Bluetooth devices around you • Unidentified devices: also show nearby devices that don't broadcast a name, such as some trackers and tags • Find after the app is closed: keep checking for a lost device in the background • Widget: see when your favourite devices were last seen, on your Home Screen or Lock Screen • Siri: say "Find my AirPods with Device Tracker", or ask when a device was last seen • Rename devices, mark favourites, and use VoiceOver and Larger Text Find Devices Such As • AirPods, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max • Apple Watch and Apple Pencil • Beats, Galaxy Buds and other earbuds and headphones • Bluetooth speakers and fitness trackers • iPhone and iPad • Most Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices Tips for Finding Faster • Take AirPods out of their case: they stop broadcasting when it's closed • Move slowly and pause for a moment, so the signal can settle • Walls, furniture and people weaken the signal, so check nearby rooms too Good to Know Device Tracker finds devices by their Bluetooth signal, so a device must be switched on, have some charge and be within Bluetooth range: usually about 10–30 metres (30–100 feet) indoors. It can't find devices that are switched off or out of range, and it doesn't use Apple's Find My network. Device Tracker Pro Scanning for devices around you is free. Pro unlocks the radar for finding each device, the Nearby radar, the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island view, Notify when found, last-seen places and history, unidentified devices, and finding after the app is closed. • Payment is charged to your Apple ID account upon purchase confirmation • Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current billing period ends • Manage subscriptions and disable auto-renewal in Apple ID Account Settings • Any unused portion of a free trial will be forfeited when a subscription is purchased Need Help?
