How to connect our AirPods to our iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

AirPods work with all of our Apple devices. In fact, they even work with devices from other brands , although some of their functions lack compatibility. Thanks to this great compatibility we can use our favorite headphones in the device that suits us best according to the occasion.

How to connect our AirPods to our iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

The steps are very simple, but before we start let’s make sure that the headphones are sufficiently charged . Then let’s follow the steps below:

1. We put the AirPods on our ears.
2. We open the Control Center on our iPhone or iPad .
3. We touch the small icon in the shape of a triangle and a fan at the top right of the playback section.
4. We touch our AirPods.

As soon as we see the tick appear next to our AirPods we can start playing our podcasts , music , etc. Remember that we access the control center by sliding from the top right of the screen down on devices that have Face ID, or from the bottom up on those with Touch ID.

How to connect our AirPods to the Mac

Before we start let’s make sure we have the Bluetooth menu visible in our menu bar. To do so, we choose System Preferences in the Apple menu (), enter Bluetooth and activate Show Bluetooth in the menu bar . Then we follow these steps:

1. We put the AirPods on our ears.
2. We click on the Bluetoothmenu on our Mac .
3. We rest the mouse on top of [Name] AirPods.
4. We touch Connectin the submenu that appears.

We will see that the bluetooth icon changes and shows three dots on it and in the menu, [Name] AirPods , it will appear in bold . Now we can play content on our Mac.

How to connect our AirPods to Apple TV

Last but not least, let’s see how to connect our AirPods to Apple TV. A little-known and very useful option to be able to listen to TV without anyone else in the room having to hear it or to hear it clearly in a noisy environment. The steps are the following:

1. We put the AirPods on our ears.
2. Hold down the Play / Pause button on our Siri Remote.
3. We select our AirPods from the list shown to us.

Normally the connection of the AirPods with our devices occurs in the most comfortable way possible, whether we have just taken the AirPods out of their case or we switch between two different devices. If at any time it seems that the connection or reconnection fails, it is best to put the headphones back into the case, close it and wait about 10 seconds before trying the connection again.
