Are you on the hunt for your AirPods? Have you seen the “Sound Pending” message in the Find My app? If so, don’t worry. There are a few steps you can take to get closer to finding your lost AirPods.

First of all, it’s important to understand what “Sound Pending” means. In essence, this message indicates that your AirPods are offline and not connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. This means that they won’t play any sound until they connect to one of those networks. Additionally, if one of your AirPods is alreay in its charging case, then it won’t play any sound at all.

So how can you locate your missing AirPods? The best way is by using the Find My app. When you open this app, it will display the last known location of your AirPods on a map. If you tap on “Play Sound” in the app, a beeping sound will start playing from both of your AirPods – gradually getting louder over two minutes. You can also switch which AirPod plays the sound by tapping on either the L or R button in the Find My app.

Unfortunately, if you lose both of your AirPods and their charging case somewhere in the house then there’s no way to track them because Find My requires a Bluetooth connection in order to work properly.

In conclusion, if you see “Sound Pending” when trying to find your missing AirPods then try usig the Find My app as soon as possible! It can help you locate them with its beeping sound and map feature – but only if they are connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network!
