User level: Level 1 (4 points)hello, I recently got a pair of the APP3, and due to the nature of my activities and work, I often misplace or lose my AirPods, but the find my precision locator helps a ton.
Now I’ve wanted to use precision finding but, the AirPods won’t allow to use precision finding, while it shows on the map when it was last connected it won’t allow me to use the tracking chip, I’ve also already tried toggling the AirPods Find My network but the toggle is just not present
any help is appreciated thanks

AirPods don’t have a cellular connection or WiFi connection to the Internet.
They have a Bluetooth connection that connects to an Apple device.
Bluetooth only has a range of around 30 feet.
For your AirPods to show up in find my, an Apple device has to be within Bluetooth range
Precision finding requires you to be even closer.

Yes I know, but there is a toggle in settings called “find my network” this toggle allows me to use precision finding and for the location to be more accurate when looking for the AirPods.
this toggle is not present in the AirPods Pro 3 which SHOULD be there
