AirPods Pro normally pair with an iPhone through the setup animation that appears when the charging case is opened nearby.
- Unlock the iPhone and make sure Bluetooth is on.
- Put both AirPods in the case and open the lid near the iPhone.
- When the setup card appears, tap Connect and follow the prompts.
- If no card appears, open Settings > Bluetooth, put the AirPods in pairing mode using the case controls for your model, and select them when they appear.
AirPods already associated with your Apple Account may also become available automatically on your other compatible Apple devices.
If the labels on your screen differ slightly, use Settings search or the app’s current menus to find the named feature. Apple sometimes moves controls between iOS releases, so follow the feature name rather than an unrelated setting with similar wording.
