Manually Pair Your AirPods Max With Your iPad
1 min read
Software problems and Bluetooth connectivity issues can prevent your AirPods Max from automatically pairing to your iPad. You can still manually pair your devices if the connection does not happen automatically.
- Press and hold the Noise Control button on AirPods Max.
- Continue holding the Noise Control button until the Status Light blinks white.
- Open the Settings app on your iPad.
- Tab Bluetooth.
- Tap on AirPods Max under Devices.
Why this works:
Manually pairing your AirPods Max in the iPad Settings app is an easy workaround when they don’t pair automatically. It’s the same process you’d follow when pairing any other Bluetooth device to your iPad.
