If you want to connect your AirPods to a device, we have the instructions for that. We'll show you how to connect your wireless headphones to your iPhone or iPad.
Connect AirPods to iPhone and iPad – here's how
You can connect the AirPods to any iPhone, iPad or iPod with iOS 10 or later. Alternatively, you can also connect them to your Apple Watch (watchOS 3 or later), Apple TV (tvOS 11 or later) or your Mac with at least macOS Sierra. We'll show you how to connect them to your iPhone and iPad.
- First, go to the Home screen. Also, make sure that the AirPods and case are already charged.
- If you haven't already done so, turn on Bluetooth. Then open the case and hold it next to your device.
- A setup animation should now appear on the screen. Tap “Connect” and then “Done”. The AirPods are now connected and ready to use.
