Hey everyone Smile I just found out something strange and I’m not sure what caused it. I own an iMac at home and a MacBook Portable that I carry around. My home iMac has two user profiles—my own and one for my girlfriend. I once borrowed AirPods from a friend and used them on my MacBook Portable. Now those AirPods still appear in the list that shows up on my MacBook when I tap the BT icon at the top. They also show up in my girlfriend’s list on the iMac when she uses the BT icon. What’s going on? Do these Bluetooth devices sync across Apple devices through iCloud? And even if they do, why aren’t they visible just on my account? I’m certain the AirPods never connected directly to my iMac, and I’m pretty sure nothing on my girlfriend’s account ever happened. Thanks in advance for your help!
Best, -a-

This feature helps spread useful information, though sometimes it doesn’t work as well as hoped. If it’s just copied, simply take it out of the device lists and the issue is fixed. Changing one entry should remove it from all.
