HelloTech Explains How to Pair AirPods with an iPhone
Apple created AirPods to easily sync with your iPhone, making the pairing process quick and painless. Connecting AirPods to an iPhone can be a hassle, but that's to be expected given the nature of Bluetooth technology. Following this guide, you'll be able to pair your AirPods with your iPhone and troubleshoot any connection issues you might encounter.
Take note that your iPhone must have Bluetooth enabled for the AirPods to connect. Make sure the Bluetooth switch is turned on by navigating to Settings > Bluetooth. When the slider is in the green position, Bluetooth is turned on.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Pairing Your AirPods with an iPhone
Put the AirPods in their case and snap the case shut to sync them with an iPhone. Then, while holding your AirPods case open and your iPhone in place, navigate to the home screen. When the setup prompt appears, tap Connect.
- Close the case around your AirPods and leave them there for 15 seconds.
Note: Before attempting to pair your AirPods, please ensure they are fully charged. If you want to know more, have a look at our detailed guide on how to check the battery life of your AirPods.
- The next step is to open the iPhone's main menu. For older iPhones, press the Home button at the bottom of the display. If you're using an iPhone X or later, swipe up quickly from the bottom of the screen.
- When you've done that, pull out your AirPods and place them in the open case next to your iPhone. Maintain a close proximity between your iPhone and the AirPods' open case for optimal sound quality.
- As soon as the setup prompt appears on your iPhone, tap Connect. First-time users of AirPods on this iPhone will be prompted to enable "Hey Siri" and other features through the setup wizard.
- Afterwards, connect your AirPods by following the on-screen prompts and selecting Done. The "x" in the prompt's upper right corner allows you to dismiss it without completing any of the steps.
When you first pair your AirPods with your iPhone, they will automatically reconnect each time you put them in your ears. No additional setup is required; instead, a discreet notification will appear in the corner of your screen to let you know that your AirPods have successfully linked.
It may be necessary to connect AirPods to an iPhone manually if you are unable to see the Connect button or if pairing issues persist. How? Read on!
The Hands-On Guide to Pairing Your AirPods with Your iPhone
Put the AirPods in their case and snap the case shut to initiate a manual pairing with your iPhone. Then, while holding down the button on the back of the case, place your iPhone inside it and open the case next to it until a white light begins to blink. When the Connect button finally appears on your screen, press it.
If you have AirPods Pro, the Status light will be on the front of the case. This indicator glows on the inside of the case of older models.
Problems pairing your AirPods? Here's what to do.
Disconnecting other Bluetooth devices, turning Bluetooth on and off, turning off Low Power mode, switching the iPhone's audio output, and reconnecting the AirPods may fix a connection problem. At long last, you can try updating your iPhone or resetting your AirPods.
Access Bluetooth's on/off toggle
Turning Bluetooth off, waiting a few seconds, and then turning it back on can be the simplest solution. In many cases, this will force your iPhone's Bluetooth settings to reset, allowing you to pair your AirPods once again.
To disable Bluetooth, select it from the menu at the top of the screen and then tap the off switch. When the switch is in the green position, Bluetooth is active. Furthermore, the Bluetooth icon in the iPhone's Control Center can be used for the same purpose.
Turn off saving power mode
There have been reports of users having trouble pairing their AirPods while they are in Low Power mode. The goal of this setting is to keep your iPhone operational for as long as possible when the battery life is low, but some features may stop functioning until this setting is disabled or the iPhone is charged to more than 80%.
Go to your iPhone's Settings > Battery and slide the button labeled "Low power Mode" to the off position. When the slider is gray, it is turned off. Alternatively, you can tap the yellow battery icon in the iPhone's Control Center to turn it off.
Put your iPhone's audio into your AirPods.
It's possible that another Bluetooth device is playing music while your AirPods are connected to an iPhone but you're still unable to hear it. Putting music on your AirPods is as simple as changing the iPhone's audio settings.
To change the iPhone's audio output, head to Settings > Control Center > AirPlay. There's a button that looks like a triangle with a few circles protruding from the top of the screen in the upper right corner. When you're ready to listen through your AirPods, choose them from the list.
Stop using your iPhone's Bluetooth connection with any other gadgets.
IPhones can be set to prioritize other Bluetooth audio devices over AirPods if you have a collection of headphones, speakers, and the like that you use frequently. It's possible that you'll have to turn off some other gadgets before you can pair your AirPods with your iPhone.
To remove a device from your iPhone's Bluetooth list, go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap the "i" to the right of the device's name. Afterward, choose Either Disconnect or Forget This Device. The next time you want to connect the device, you'll have to set it up from scratch if you forget how you originally configured it.
Try resetting your AirPods.
If all else fails, try returning your AirPods to their original configuration. This will disconnect your AirPods from your iCloud account altogether, making it impossible to use the Find My feature to track them down if they are misplaced.
Tap the "i" to the right of the AirPods' name in the Settings > Bluetooth menu to access the AirPods' reset menu. After that, choose the option to Forget this Device. Then, in the window that appears, select Forget this device after tapping Forget Device.
Keep in mind that you will need to set up your AirPods again from scratch after you have reset them.
