How To Update Your Airpods 2

Share This:

Updating your AirPods 2 is a simple and straightforward process, but it’s important to make sure your AirPods are up-to-date with the latest firmware. With the latest firmware updates, your AirPods will be able to take advantage of new features, as well as improved sound quality and battery life.

To get started with updating your AirPods 2, you’ll need an iPhone or iPad running iOS 12.5 or later, as well as a charging cable for the case that came with your AirPods.

Step 1: Connect Your AirPods to Your iPhone
To begin the update process, you’ll need to connect your AirPods to your iPhone. To do this, open Settings on your iPhone and select Bluetooth from the list of available options. Then tap on the “i” icon next to your AirPods in the list of devices.

Step 2: Check for Updates
Once connected, scroll down to the About section where you can check for updates. If there are any available updates, tap on the Update button next to them. You may also see a prompt asking if you want to install an update; if so, follow that prompt and confirm that you want to install it by tapping Install Now or Later.

Step 3: Force Install an Update
If you don’t see any updates on the About page but believe there should be one available (for example if you’ve recently bought new AirPods), you can force install an update by putting your AirPods into their case, connecting them using their charging cable and leaving them in the case until they have updated themselves automatically.

Step 4: Check That Your Update Was Successful

Once completed successfully, you should see a notification in Settings indicating that an update was installed successfully on your AirPods 2. You can also check this by going back into the About page of Bluetooth settings and checking that the version number has been updated correctly – it should show “Version 5B58” or higher depending on what version you have installed now.

Updating your AirPods 2 is a great way to ensure that they are always working at their best and taking advantage of all of their features!

Troubleshooting AirPods Update Issues

There could be several reasons why you can’t update your AirPods. It could be due to an issue with your AirPods or the charging case itself, or it could be due to an incompatibility between the software on your device and the version of firmware on your AirPods. If you’re certain that all of these conditions are met, make sure that you have the latest version of iOS on your device and that your AirPods are in their charging case with the lid open so that they can connect to your iPhone. Then connect the charging cable to the case and wait for the firmware update to start. If you still can’t update them, contact Apple Support for further assistance.
