Our habits add up, and you might have a few that put your cybersecurity at risk. I'm here to help. In this tech tip, I'll show you why the simple act of leaving your Bluetooth connected all the time is a mistake — and what to do about it.

Apple’s AirPods are small, making them easy to lose. And replacing one costs $69 for the base model and $89 for a single AirPod Pro. Ouch!

Accidents happen, but misplacing an AirPod doesn’t mean it’s gone forever. Just open the Find My app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, then tap the Devices tab and choose AirPods.

🕵️‍♀️ Insider secret: You’ll only see one AirPod location at a time on the map. If it pinpoints the one that’s not missing, put it back in the charging case, then refresh the map to show the location of the one you can’t find.

And be sure to clean all the crust and grime out of your earbuds regularly. Trust me, if it’s been a while, you need to. Here’s the best way to get the job done.
