Show Want to pair someone else’s AirPods to your iPhone or iPad? Or do you want to connect your AirPods to use on a different iPhone or iPad? You can easily do either, offering a simple way to try out AirPods yourself, or let someone else try AirPods themselves, or even just use AirPods on a different iPhone or iPad that isn’t yours. This also offers a way to pair a single set of AirPods with multiple devices that are not using the same Apple ID, as if the devices are using the same Apple ID then switching AirPods between them this way is not necessary and happens seamlessly instead.
How to Connect AirPods to Someone Else’s iPhone or iPadRemember, this is aimed at connecting and pairing AirPods with a different persons device, not a different device of your own. Here’s how it works:
That’s it, you’re now able to use the AirPods or AirPods Pro on the different iPhone or iPad, even if it is not yours. Remember this is aimed at using AirPods with another different iPhone or iPad that is not sharing the same Apple ID, like someone else’s iPhone. If you’re using just another one of your own devices with the same Apple ID, this process won’t be necessary, because your own devices can easily select and switch AirPods between themselves. That even applies to the Mac (though you can also use AirPods with Mac directly by syncing them as any other Bluetooth headphones if you aren’t using the same Apple ID or don’t use iCloud at all). So that’s how you connect to someone else’s AirPods with iPhone, or let someone else’s iPhone connect to your AirPods, or any variation thereof. It’s pretty simple and it’s easy to switch around as you see fit. Do you know of any other method to sharing AirPods?

Will AirPods show up on Find My if someone else connects to them?If you don't have any of those, the Find Devices or Find Items apps on an Apple Watch will work, too. If you have no ready access to any of those devices, the Find My app will also let you find your lost AirPods using a device someone else owns, as long as they are in your Family Sharing group.
Can someone use my AirPods without me knowing?You may not realize it, but your AirPods work with any charging case—provided you use a Pro case for AirPods Pro. So, if a thief stole your AirPods, they can still connect them to another iPhone using a different AirPod charging case. Maybe they'll use a case they stole from someone else.
Can you connect to strangers AirPods?Yes.! If the complete set is stolen, it can be used easily. There's a pair button in the Airpods Case that allow others to connect with the Airpods. Once stolen and out of your phone's range it can be easily used by other.
