Apple on Monday Issued iOS 10.3 for all owners of compatible devices with a variety of useful features. Even wireless headphone users AirPods are coming into their own as the Cupertino company has expanded the Find app iPhone about the Find function AirPods. So if you lose one or both of your headphones AirPods, finding them will be very easy. But there's one catch.
You can only find wireless headphones if you have Bluetooth enabled on your iPhone and the headphones are within range of this signal. So if you lose them at home, you can easily find them. But once you lose them somewhere outside, even the mentioned function won't help you in your search.
If you want to use the Find function AirPody, open the Find app iPhone. After logging in, you will see a map and a list of all your devices. After clicking on the icon AirPods on the map will start to play. During the search, you can set whether the sound should come from the left or right earbud.
If there are no headphones AirPods within Bluetooth range, you will only see their last known location on the map. When you press the "Play Sound" button, a message will appear stating that playback is currently unavailable. However, you will be notified when they are AirPods connected to the device.
Have you ever lost AirPods? And do you find this feature useful?

Do you know where I can buy those funny stickers in the Czech Republic? airwhat? :o)
Find my airpods were the first thing I tried on iOS 10.3 and I must say that looking for the headphones at home will not be a problem. But outside it is something else, the beeping that the headphones emit is so weak that I had trouble hearing it at home even in complete silence. Outside where trees rustle or cars drive by, you will definitely not hear the headphones.
This function is poorly designed and difficult to use from a practical point of view. Find the application iPhone because it shows Airpods on the map only one icon for both headphones (not separately the left and right headphones) and if only one headphone is lost from range, the application shows the location of the other one, which is still paired. So if I lose one headphone, the application will show me the location of the other one that I have with me and will not tell me where the first one went out of range (which I will probably be looking for). So in practice it would only be useful if I lose both headphones at the same time (and that is quite unlikely) and the headphones must not be closed in the case (if they are closed in the case, the headphones are turned off and unpaired from the phone, so the phone will not know when the box went out of range - it only knows where I put the headphones in the box). I tested it in practice and unfortunately it behaves like this. I am a bit surprised by Apple, they have most things analytically weak, but here their analyst clearly did not have the best day…. let's hope that the next version iOSu will fix it….
