Only the person who turned on the Find My network sees the headphones, even when they are shared.
Locate Beats headphones on Android
Android has no Find My app. The Beats app instead records your phone's location every time your Beats connect or disconnect, so it can show where they were last connected. Location permission must be set before they go missing.
- Open the Beats app, tap the menu and select Locate My Beats.
- Set location permission to Allow all the time and turn on Use precise location if offered.
- When your Beats are lost, open Locate My Beats again to see the last connected location on a map.
- If you own several Beats, tap the one you want to find.
Supported Beats also show their last connected location in Google's Find Hub app. Reinstalling the Beats app or clearing its data means adding your Beats and granting location again.
