How to Remove AirPods from Apple ID?

Let’s see how to remove AirPods from Apple ID.

Method no 1: Remove Apple ID from AirPods Using the ‘Find My’ App

When you initially set up the Airpods, they are eventually connected with the Apple ID through the “Pairing Lock”. This pairing lock feature is very much similar to the iPhone Activation Lock. With the help of the pairing lock feature, Apple will allow you to track the Airpods through the use of Find My.

If you forget to remove the pairing lock before passing it along to the Airpod, the new owner won’t be connecting them to the Apple ID. And hence you won’t be able to use all of their features.

Before you make up your mind to sell or give away your Airpod, make sure you use the Find My app on your Mac, iPad, or iPhone to remove the AirPods from Apple ID.

Follow the steps below to perform it easily.

1. First of all, ensure that the AirPods are in the pairing range of the certain device they are using. If they are not within the pairing range, you can still follow the steps. But the people to whom you are giving the AirPods have to reset them before using them.
2. Log into the Find My app by using the same Apple ID with which the AirPods have been paired.
3. Once the Find My app opens, you have to swipe up to get a list of all your devices.
4. Now tap on those AirPods which you want to remove from the Apple ID.
5. Swipe up to collect more information or details about the airport you are using.
6. Tap to remove the device.
7. A pop-up window will appear. Tap on the Remove option.

Note: Remember that Airpods can only be removed by the person who is the owner of that Apple ID and is controlling the Airpods which are paired with that ID. You cannot remove the AirPods from someone else’s Apple ID.

Method no 2: Remove Apple ID from AirPods Using iCloud

If you think that using the find my app method is a bit tricky to perform, we have another option by the name of iCloud. Yes, it is possible to remove AirPods from your Apple ID with the help of iCloud. This method is also suitable to use for removing the rest of the Apple devices from Apple ID.

Follow the steps shared below.

1. Log into iCloud.com by using Apple ID with which the AirPods are paired.

2. Click the option Find My.

3. Click on All Devices.

4. Click the specific AirPods which you want to remove.

5. Click the option Remove from Account.

6. In the pop-up window, click Remove.

How Can You Remove the AirPods from your Mac?

Some people wish to remove the AirPods from their Mac, but still, they want it to be paired with the iPhone. Well, this is possible. You can make it happen very easily in the same way as if you’re removing any other Bluetooth device.

Follow the steps shared below.
