I have never really found the Find My AirPods (Pro) that helpful, though this update seems nice. For me, I usually forget where I have set down the AirPods in their case more so than losing one or the other of the ear buds. Is there a way to Find My AirPods case?
The new 4A400 AirPods Pro and AirPods Max firmware that was released this afternoon adds expanded Find My integration that Apple first promised as an iOS 15 feature back in June.
With the update, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max are able to take advantage of the Find My network, allowing them to be located through connections with the Apple devices owned by other people.
Prior to now, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max were listed in the Find My app, but if they were out of Bluetooth range, they would only display last known location. Through the update, the Find My network will provide an approximate location for the AirPods to help you get within Bluetooth range to track down your headphones using the Play a Sound feature.

I just updated my AirPods successfully but in "Find My" I'm still unable to find them. It says "Searching for signal..." "Try moving to a different location".
The AirPods are in their case, sitting in the same room that I'm in, shouldn't my iPhone be able to find them?
Taking them out of their case doesn't change anything ...

All those having trouble getting FindMy and AirPods Pro / AirPods Max to work:
It works on 15.0.1 and 15.1 b2 - sometimes you need to trick it into working:
1. Try taking an AirPod out and listening to something - this might force the AirPods to work with FindMy; or
2. Try restarting your phone and then seeing if the AirPods work with FindMy; or
3. If the above fail reset your AidPods according to Apple's instructions - this is what I had to do.

This helped, thank you!
I often find myself in this situation after an update. It sucks to lose my settings everytime and makes me wonder if finding my lost device would work in a serious situation, where I am unable to pair them and reset them while ... searching for them 😄
Apple needs to sort this out it’s such an awful way to update. Neither my air pods pro or air pods max are updating
I was having a similar problem, what I did was advance my phone clock to midnight, shut the case and left them on a charger, looked a while later, AirPods Pro were updated and opening up the find my app, there they were, then set my time back to today, maybe it was coincidence, but some things may charge overnight ( After Midnight) easier.
Worked for me .
I had my air pods pro on charge last night next to my iPhone and still nothing lol guess have to wait to see if if automatically at some point
Same here. Weirdly enough I can toggle it on and off from my watch and iPad. Yet another bug…
iPhone is on iOS 15.0.1.
Updating the APP firmware has always been a pain.
Had to unpair, reset then pair the APP after update.
When updating the APP... connect to cable, open music and play a song for a few minutes. When you hear a disconnect sound from the PC, the APP has been updated.
Unpair/reset then pair again.
The issue now is that the 'Find My' app can't find my iWatch 5 considering I'm wearing it and the iPhone is literally inches away from it. It can send signal and the iWatch will beep and email is sent.
But it will Not show up on the map as it's labelled 'Watch 5 not found'!
Apple should slow down and focus on quality control of its many firmware updates!
No more of Apple's 'It works'!

That's literally the point of this update. To make that better.
I had this happen this morning too, but I also only had a couple of minutes to play around before leaving for work. Now that I'm at my desk, I at least see that they are updating their location about every 10 minutes. Compare that to my AirPods 2, which say they were last seen last night around midnight.
"Pro's" isn't an incorrect use of the possessive apostrophe, it's used in this context to indicate a contraction (i.e. "Pro" is a contraction of "Professional", like "didn't" for "did not"). Typically you don't indicate a contraction at the end of the word (e.g. you wouldn't bother writing Pro'), but pluralising it with an s justifies the use of the apostrophe. You could argue that "AirPods Pro" is actually a proper noun in itself and therefore isn't a contraction, but I still don't think you can say that "Pro's" is categorically wrong - certainly not in the same way that a grocers' apostrophe is.
tl;dr - the Grammar Police say "Move on, nothing to see here".
