<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYour AirPods Pro may be connected to your device, but the reason why it is not working is that your device has not made it to the output device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To fix it, just click on the list of output modes<\/strong> when you\u2019re playing a song, watching a video, making a call, and choosing the AirPods Pro as the primary output. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis will route all your sounds from the phone\u2019s speakers to the AirPods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Fix 2: Close range<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nConnect your AirPods Pro to your device by pairing it through Bluetooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To do this, Put the AirPods Pro in their charging case > Open Settings<\/mark> on your device > Select Bluetooth<\/mark> > Long press the button behind the AirPods case to make it ready for pairing > Select the name of your AirPods Pro<\/strong> when they show up on your device to pair and connect the Airpods Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Fix 3: Charge AirPods Pro<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAfter connection via Bluetooth, ensure that your AirPods Pro and the device are always nearby. Being too far apart will cause them to disconnect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although AirPods Pro has a longer-lasting battery than their counterparts, this does not mean that they last forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AirPods Pro also do need to be charge as they require power to function fully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When AirPods run out of battery, they shut off completely and they won\u2019t work unless they are charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Fix 4: Upgrade Firmware<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTo update the software version of your AirPods Pro, you will need to use an iPhone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The firmware upgrade of your AirPods will eliminate technical glitches and bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure both the AirPods and iPhone are fully charged > Connect the iPhone to a Wi-Fi network<\/mark> > Pair the AirPods<\/mark> with the iPhone and leave them for about an hour. This will automatically upgrade the Airpods\u2019 firmware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Fix 5: Reset AirPods Pro<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nReset the AirPods Pro if they are not working. The rest of your AirPods Pro will bring the AirPods Pro back to default and also fix all software issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Put the Airpods in the charging case and close the lid > Wait a while and king press the button <\/mark>behind the Airpods > Wait for the color signal <\/mark>to turn white and go off > Press the button again to turn on the AirPods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Fix 6: Update your Device<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe software version of your device might be making it incompatible or not pairable with your AirPods Pro because it is out of date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your device\u2019s operating system should have software updates for you to upgrade your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Android<\/strong>: Open the Settings<\/mark> app on your mobile device > Scroll down to System<\/mark> > Click on System update<\/mark> to check if there\u2019s an update available > Download and install<\/mark> the update on your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\niOS<\/strong>: Open the Settings<\/mark> app on your iPhone > Select General<\/mark> > Choose the second option: Software Update<\/mark> > Wait while the device checks if there are any new updates available<\/strong> > Select the latest one and wait while it downloads and installs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Fix 7: Restart your device<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAnother fix for solving the problem of your Airpods Pro not working is to restart your device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
iOS<\/strong>: Hold down the power button (for models below the iPhone X) or hold down the power button and the volume down buttons(for iPhone X models and later) for a few seconds > The shut down menu will appear on the screen > Slide the power icon to turn the phone off > After the phone shuts down, press and hold down the power button to turn it back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAndroid<\/strong>: Press and hold down the power button of your device > Wait until the shutdown options appear on the screen > Select the restart option and let the phone reboot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Fix 8: Buy Authentic<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou may think you are saving money by purchasing replicas and fake versions of the AirPods Pro, but these fake versions are bound to damage quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only purchase your AirPods Pro from Apple Store or any certified shop like Amazon, eBay, or BestBuy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Fix 9: Apple Shop<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nVisit a certified Apple Store or any of its affiliates to check on your AirPods Pro if it is not working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
