Part 1. How to Remove AirPods from My Apple ID

If you're the owner of the AirPods and just aspire to remove it from your Apple ID account, it's pretty easy to do. Removing AirPods from your Apple ID is also an important step when you're giving them away, selling them, or want to tidy up your Apple ecosystem. There are two ways to remove AirPods from your Apple ID. You can follow the step-by-step instructions below to do so.

Method 1. Remove AirPods from Apple ID via Bluetooth

The quickest way to get your AirPods out of your Apple ID is through Bluetooth settings on your iPhone or iPad. By unpairing your AirPods, you essentially disconnect them from your Apple ID, making them available to be paired with another device or Apple ID. This option is perfect for those who want a straightforward, no-fuss method for unlinking their AirPods.

Option 1. Fire up Settings and then tap the AirPods name. The next step is to scroll down and touch the Forget This Device button.

Option 2. Run Settings and enter the Bluetooth section. Then touch on "i" icon beside the AirPods name and select Forget This Device.

Method 2. Remove AirPods from Apple ID via Find My App

The Find My app is another effective tool for managing your devices, including AirPods. If you have turned on Find My, you can enter the Find My app on your device to see a list of your Apple devices logged in with your Apple ID. Removing AirPods via the Find My app ensures they're no longer connected to your Apple account. Next, we'll tell you how to remove AirPod from Apple ID via the Find My app.

Step 1. Fire up the Find My app on your iOS device.

Step 2. Continue to pick the Devices tab on the bottom of the screen and select your AirPods from the Devices list.

Step 3. Swip up to press the Remove This Device button and then tap Remove.

Step 4. Tap Remove again to confirm your action and your AirPods will be removed from your Apple ID.

Part 2. How to Remove Apple ID from AirPods without Previous Owner

After you buy second-hand AirPods from a marketplace or an online platform like eBay, you may find that they're still linked to the previous owner. If you don't remove them, the previous owner could still see them. So, can you remove AirPods from someone else's Apple ID without contacting them? The answer is yes. By following these steps to reset your AirPods to factory settings, you can remove Apple ID from AirPods without previous owner and use them as if they were brand new. Let's get started.

For AirPods (1st, 2nd, 3rd Gen) & AirPods Pro (all models): Place the AirPods inside their charging case, shut the lid, and wait 30 seconds. Open the lid and press the setup button on the back until the status light blinks amber, then white (about 15 seconds).

For AirPods 4 (both versions): Insert the AirPods into their case, close the lid, and wait for 30 seconds. Open the lid and tap the front of the case twice in quick succession three times. Once the reset is complete, the status light will flash amber, then turn white.

For AirPods Max: Tap and hold both the Digital Crown and the noise control button on the right earcup. Keep holding until the status light near the charging port flashes amber, then white (approximately 15 seconds).
