Manually Pair Your AirPods Max With Your iPhone
1 min read
Although they’re designed to connect seamlessly, you can manually pair your iPhone and AirPods Max in Settings like you would with any other Bluetooth device.
- 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 iPhone.
- Tap Bluetooth.
- Tap on AirPods Max in your list of Devices.
Why this works:
Sometimes minor Bluetooth or software problems can prevent your iPhone and AirPods Max from pairing as they’re designed to. Manually pairing your devices is a quick workaround when they won’t connect automatically.
