How to disable tracking on Airpods? AirPods are a popular wireless earbud option, but they come with a potential privacy risk: Apple tracks your location when you use them. This is because AirPods use Bluetooth to connect to your iPhone or iPad, and Bluetooth signals can be used to track your location.

If you're not comfortable with Apple tracking your location, you can disable AirPods tracking. This will prevent Apple from tracking your location when you're using your AirPods. However, it will also disable Find My AirPods, which is a feature that allows you to find your lost AirPods.


How to Disable AirPods Tracking

To disable AirPods tracking, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.

  2. Tap on Privacy.

  3. Tap on Location Services.

  4. Scroll down and tap on System Services.

  5. Toggle off the switch next to Find My AirPods.

Things to Keep in Mind

Here are a few things to keep in mind when disabling AirPods tracking:

  • Disabling AirPods tracking will also disable Find My AirPods. This means that if you lose your AirPods, you won't be able to use Find My AirPods to find them.

  • You can still use Find My iPhone to find your iPhone, even if your AirPods are connected to it.

  • If you disable AirPods tracking on one of your devices, it will be disabled on all of your devices.

Conclusion

Disabling AirPods tracking is a simple way to protect your privacy. However, it's important to keep in mind that disabling AirPods tracking will also disable Find My AirPods. If you're not comfortable with Apple tracking your location, but you value the ability to find your lost AirPods, you may want to consider using a different pair of wireless earbuds.
