Make Sure Your Bluetooth Is Turned On
This might sound silly, but it’s important to make sure your iPhone’s Bluetooth is actually turned on. Otherwise, your AirPods will never work.
There are a couple of ways to turn on your iPhone’s Bluetooth. Here’s how to find it in the Settings app:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap on Bluetooth.
- If it isn’t already, turn on Bluetooth at the top of your screen.
The faster way to do it is to open your iPhone’s Control Center and tap the Bluetooth icon in the top left corner of your screen. If it’s blue, it means it’s turned on.
