My one wish for iOS 16 is to fix FindMy and its broken notifications from iOS 15

Opinion: Find My is finding faults with my AirPods

Let me set the scene: I was walking back from a friend’s house one evening, and I receive the first of two notifications that I’ve left my AirPods Pro somewhere, along with with an approximate address. However, after a frenzied check, I found they were still in my pocket.

This has happened numerous times before, ever since iOS 15 launched in September 2021. Even when my AirPods Pro were replaced the month after, the issue remains to this day – and it’s a notification that can cause me anxiety in record time.

Having to quickly check my pockets or my bag to see if the AirPods case and two earphones are there can result in a frustrating swipe on my Apple Watch to be rid of the FindMy notification. It’s got to the point where I’m tempted to remove my AirPods from the app completely.

Frankly, it’s ridiculous that these false notifications are still occurring, especially as I was hoping for it to be fixed in iOS 15.4. But as it still remains, and the fact that it’s not a hardware issue, what could it be?
