1. Examine your battery: It could be difficult for your AirPods to pair with your devices if they are low on battery. The easiest approach to make sure your AirPods charge properly is to put them in the charging case, then use the proper Lightning cable to connect the charging case to a USB port or wall outlet.
A brief battery level overview is provided by your AirPods charging case.
- The AirPods are completely charged if the light is green and they are in the case.
- They are not fully charged if the light is amber.
- When the case is empty and the light is Amber, the case must also be charged.
2. Verify Bluetooth. The AirPods connect quickly to both Apple and non-Apple devices, but they require a Bluetooth signal to function. One of the most frequent causes of AirPods not pairing is this. Fortunately, most products make it simple to access Bluetooth. On your iPhone or iPad, for instance, all you have to do is tap Settings > Bluetooth.
3. Clean the charging case and AirPods. It’s possible that the AirPods aren’t making good contact with the electrical connections at the bottom of the charging case if you’ve tried pairing them but your case doesn’t display a blinking light (that is, the inside-the-case charging points). Cleaning your AirPods and the bottom of the AirPods case with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth might help to resolve this problem. If the issue continues, get in touch with Apple and, if possible, request a replacement.
4. For software updates, check. Using the aforementioned techniques, if your AirPods still won’t pair, there may be a problem with your device’s settings. Make sure your device is using the most recent firmware as a first step. The following software is needed for AirPods and other Apple hardware:
- iOS 10.2 or later is required for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touches.
- watchOS 3 or later for Apple Watch
- Mac: Sierra or a later version

5. Your Air Pods, Reset. When AirPods is in pairing mode, it is possible for the status light to continue blinking white and for the charging case button to stop working. Resetting your AirPods should be your first line of defense if this happens to you.
- Find and select “Forget this Device” under Bluetooth settings on your device.
- Open the case’s lid after placing both AirPods inside.
- For 10 to 20 seconds, press and hold the tiny setup button on the case’s back until the status light begins to flicker amber.
- Once the status light has blinked amber three times, let go of the setup button.
Hold down the setup button until you see a white status light flash. If you’re using an iPhone or iPad, auto-pairing should begin, and you should be able to see your AirPods listed in the Bluetooth settings of your device.
6 Reset your gadget. You might try resetting your device to see if that helps to solve the problem if it still doesn’t get fixed after an update. Although your smartphone will be reset to factory default, nothing will be deleted, but you will lose items like your saved Wi-Fi passwords and wallpapers. This is a more drastic action to take, so try a basic restart of your device to see if it works first.
Still Not Pairing, Why? Call Apple for Assistance.
It’s best to contact Apple for assistance if you’ve tried all of these solutions and are still unable to get your AirPods to enter pairing mode. To do this, get in touch with Apple support online, over the phone, in person, at your local Apple Store, or through another authorized Apple service provider.
