Unfortunately, the directional arrows feature of AirTags is not present here, because current AirPods do not include a U1 chip inside them. When in close range of AirPods, users are now able to get a visual indicator of their proximate location. This is just like how AirTags work at long range. When other Apple devices are in the area, they can detect this signal and report it to the Find My network, placing its location on the owner’s map. The new integration now means that AirPods Pro and AirPods Max participate in the Find My network, and send out a continuous Bluetooth beacon message. Apple has also updated its Find My support article acknowledging the rollout of the new features. Thanks to reader Ste Moseley who first sent in these screenshots. Most AirPods customers simply receive new firmware updates passively over time, in the course of use. Getting AirPods to update immediately is a somewhat mercurial process that involves placing your charged AirPods in their case near a connected phone, and then hoping that the software update is transferred. In order to take advantage of these new features, you’ll first need to update your AirPods to the just-released firmware. This means that the compatible AirPods models gain new functionality inside of the Find My app, including precise location, a new Nearby Finding UI, Lost Mode, and the ability to get notifications when your earbuds are left behind. This new software enables Find My support for AirPods Pro and AirPods Max, which Apple first teased back in June at WWDC. Earlier today, we reported that new firmware versions are gradually rolling out for Apple’s wireless headphone products.
