Marc Porcar , a tech expert at QR Code Generator , says work-provided AirPods may pose a privacy risk.

If you're given a pair by your work, it may be wise only to use them in a work-based capacity in the office or at home if you're WFH .

If your boss or another employer has had the chance to link the earbuds to their Apple ID, it means they can track the location of the buds and your location on a map on the Find My app.

If you previously used them on a Mac , open the Find My app, go to the Devices tab, click the AirPods from the list on the left and then find the circled 'i' in the right-hand panel. Then press Remove This Device to disable its tracking..
