How To Connect Your AirPods To Your iPhone

Connecting your AirPods to your iPhone is one of the easiest things ever, so you shouldn’t experience any problems in this regard. This is especially true if you closely follow these instructions:

  • Step 1: Make sure that your iPhone is unlocked and ready to use. Otherwise, this method will not work
  • Step 2: Take your AirPods case with your AirPods still in it. Keep the case very close to your iPhone. Both devices should remain close to each other during the entire connecting process.

The great thing about this method is that it links your AirPods to your iCloud account. As a result, your AirPods will not only be connected to your iPhone but can easily be connected to your other Apple devices as well.

Pop-Up Does Not Appear

Do you not see the pop-up appear? You should not worry, because there is an easy solution for this scenario as well. Before you start with this solution, make sure that you turn on Bluetooth so you can easily connect your AirPods to your iPhone.

  • Step 1: At any rate, make sure that you do not remove your AirPods from the case. Just leave them in there until you are done with connecting your AirPods to your iPhone. If you do not see the pop-up appear, you should open your AirPods case as the first step.
  • Step 2: If you closely inspect the case, you will notice a small button on the back of it. This button is equipped with a small LED lamp. Hold the button until the LED light turns white. It will also start flashing quickly so that is another sign that you can release the button.
  • Step 3: Go to your “Settings”. You will not have to scroll far to find the option “Bluetooth”. Click on that.
