User level: Level 1 (22 points)Howdy,
I have an Apple Watch SE 3 and AirPods 4 that I am able to pair to one another. But, a silly thing about it is that I just can't find a way to pair my AirPods to Find My using the Apple Watch and I tried the same on my Mac. Could anyone help a brother out with the way I could do this?

About AirPods and Find My:
If Find My was enabled with these, then note that the location shown is that of the of the last time the device they are paired with was itself connected to the internet. This is because AirPods are not assigned their own IP Address.

On my Mac and Apple Watch, when I connect and ask it to show it on Find My it doesn't come up with a device. Is it possible if I sign out of my friends iCloud account on their phone and sign into mine to then add them to Find My?

No. I recommend you let your friend's phone be, by keeping off of it. But, that's THEIR call. If you were to log into it, they'd have to wait 90 data to get back into it on their own account. If this is on a device that is assigned to THEIR Apple Account --then that explains all of this. They should be seeing this under their Apple Account, despite them being yours.

No, I purchased these AirPods on my own. But, I understand your point that it would occupy their phone and that would be their call. I think I see the full picture, thanks!
