How to update your AirPods firmware for new features and fixes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Apple's AirPods firmware updates, which can introduce new features and improve performance, are delivered automatically and silently in the background. To ensure these updates are installed, users should connect their AirPods to a power source while in their charging case, keep Bluetooth enabled on their paired Apple device, and ensure the device is connected to Wi-Fi. While there's no direct way to force an update, these steps prepare the AirPods for automatic download and installation, which typically takes about 30 minutes. Users can check their current firmware version through their device's Bluetooth settings and compare it with the latest available versions on Apple's website. AI
