How to Remove AirPods From an Apple ID
There are methods using which you can easily remove the AirPods from your Apple ID. So, if you have purchased second-hand AirPods or used your friend’s AirPods, you must read the guide until the end to know the methods.
Therefore, let’s check them out:
Use Find My App:
Your AirPods are initially locked to your Apple ID with a Pairing Lock. AirPods can be tracked easily using Find My and can be recognized and connected to all your devices without having to set them up repeatedly with Pairing Lock, which Apple uses to make AirPods easy to track.
It’s important to remove the Pairing Lock before passing along your AirPods. Otherwise, they won’t work.
It is possible to remove your AirPods from Apple ID using the Find My app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac before giving them away or selling them. So, let’s check out the steps to do so:
- To pair your AirPods, ensure they are within the device’s pairing range.
- Ensure you’ve logged into the Find My app with the same Apple ID as the AirPods.
- To view the list of all your devices, swipe up in the Find My app.
- If you wish to remove an AirPod from your Apple ID, tap it.
- Find out more about the AirPods by swiping up on the information.
- Select Remove This Device.
- Tap Remove in the pop-up window.
Using iCloud:
If the above method doesn’t work for you, you can just use iCloud to remove AirPods from Apple ID. Therefore, let’s get started with the guide:
- Use the Apple ID that is paired with the AirPods to log into iCloud.com.
- Then click Find My.
- Select All Devices.
- Select the AirPods you wish to remove.
- Then click the Remove from Account button.
- Click Remove in the pop-up window.
How do I Reset AirPods?
AirPods will reset their settings once you reset them, enabling you to configure options once again. When you reset your AirPods, the settings for your AirPods will also be reset.
Using someone else’s AirPods with your iOS device requires that you have an Apple ID associated with the AirPods. Below are the steps you need to take to remove the AirPods from their Apple ID.
- Select Bluetooth from the device’s settings.
- You can then select the I icon next to them and select Forget This Device.
- Then, hit the Forget This Device and confirm your action by tapping on Forget This Device again.
