This short article helps you troubleshoot when Notify When Left Behind is either grayed out, not working or unsupported.įor those wanting a deep dive into how to set it up, see this article instead: How to get a left behind notification when you forget your iPhone, Apple Watch, AirTagged item, or other(s).


Unfortunately, this feature does not always work or shows up as not supported. That usually means you are already on your way and need to turn around to get your device back. These separation notifications only appear when you’re more than 300+ feet away from the device you left behind. The good news is that with iOS 15 and watchOS 8 and above, Apple finally released a Notify When Left Behind feature that does just that! This feature shows a separation notification on your Apple Watch, letting you know when you are away from your iPhone, AirPods, and other Apple devices so you can quickly turn back and get it.Īnd it works for other devices, too, like your iPad or AirTagged products. And now it works for AirPods Pro, AirPods (3rd generation,) and AirPods Max (using firmware 4A400 and above.) If only my Apple Watch alerted me that my iPhone or AirPods aren’t nearby before I was miles away! And of course, I don’t even realize it until I am too far away to turn around and pick it up. This situation happens way too many times than I care to admit: I leave my home or workplace forgetting that my iPhone or AirPods are sitting on the charger or is next to my bed on the nightstand.
