Sniffer allows you to locate your lost headphones, earbuds, and devices, such as AirPods, Fitbit, using Bluetooth. It can find one of your AirPods or both. This app shows you how close you are to the AirPods (and other Bluetooth devices) and can lead you to their location. It will detect your earbuds if their Bluetooth signal is on and you are less than 330 feet away (100 meters). If the headphones you are looking for are AirPods, they must be out of the case to be detected. If you've only lost one AirPod, leave the other one closed IN THE CASE. For any other headphones, their Bluetooth must be on, which is usually the case. This app helps you find your: • AirPods 1, 2, & Pro • Apple Watch • Apple Pencil • Beats headphones • Fitbit & other smartwatches • Tile and many other Bluetooth devices.
