WHY YOUR AIRPODS MAY NOT BE WORKING
AirPods, Apple's wireless earbuds, have become a staple in the lives of many people. But like any electronic device, they can occasionally experience problems. If you're having trouble getting your AirPods to work, don't panic. There are several steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue and fix it.
1. CHECK THE BATTERY
The first thing you should do is check the battery level of your AirPods. If the battery is low, your AirPods may not be able to power on. To check the battery level, open the AirPods case and hold it near your iPhone. A pop-up window will appear showing the battery level of the AirPods and the charging case. If the battery is low, connect the AirPods to a power source using the charging cable that came with the AirPods.
2. CHECK THE BLUETOOTH CONNECTION
If the battery level is fine, the next thing you should check is the Bluetooth connection between your AirPods and your iPhone. To do this, open the Settings app on your iPhone, tap "Bluetooth," and then tap the "i" icon next to your AirPods. Make sure the AirPods are connected and if they are not, tap "Connect."
3. CLEAN YOUR AIRPODS
If you're still having trouble getting your AirPods to work, try cleaning them. Earwax and other debris can build up on the AirPods and charging case, which can interfere with the sound quality and connectivity. To clean the AirPods, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the AirPods and the charging case. You can also use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to gently clean the speaker mesh on the AirPods.
4. RESET YOUR AIRPODS
If you've tried all of the above steps and your AirPods are still not working, you can try resetting them. To reset your AirPods, follow these steps:
- Put both AirPods in the charging case.
- Close the lid of the charging case and wait 30 seconds.
- Open the lid of the charging case and press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for 15 seconds.
- The status light on the charging case will flash white, then amber.
- Release the setup button.
- Your AirPods will now be reset.
5. CONTACT APPLE SUPPORT
If you've tried all of the above steps and your AirPods are still not working, you can contact Apple Support for help. You can visit the Apple Support website or call Apple Support at 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
