Apple's iPhone users no need to worry about the lost Airpods anymore. As per Apple's latest iOS  10.3 update, users can now locate their misplaced wireless Airpods through the help of 'Find My Airpods' app. According to the tech giant, the app would play a sound on either one or both of the Airpods, making it easy for users to locate it.

According to CNET, there are some caveats, users need to depend on their iPhone or iPad's Bluetooth and location options. These would show users where they have last seen those. Interestingly, the Find My iPhone feature locates the earphones within the Bluetooth range of any iOS devices which are connected on iCloud. Now, if the Airpods are nearby the devices, the device's location would help users find the earphones. It would show the users where they could start looking.

As per The Wall Street Journal, this latest feature has really helped all iPhone users from the tyranny of buying a new pair of Airpods. Apart from these, the wireless Airpods also free users from the worry of tangled earphones. There are no fears of having to buy a new pair of earphones and spend a whopping $69 for it. The tech giant had announced the latest feature on Tuesday to be available on iOS 10.3. Finding those tiny earpods is no longer a burden for those who fear losing it.

The app would reach the software developers on Tuesday and might be available for the users real soon. However, every app comes with certain glitches. This latest app too has its drawbacks. Due to the small size of the Airpods and due its battery limits, there is no inbuilt GPS available so users won't be able to find the exact location of the Airpods. However, Apple is smart enough to tackle this problem as it depends on the GPS of the iPad or iPhone.
