How to connect a new air pod

Hi there Xomichellexo,

If you are connecting your AirPods to an iPhone, the steps below should help walk you through how to connect your AirPods:

1. "Go to the Home Screen.
2. With your AirPods in the charging case, open the charging case, and hold it next to your iPhone. A setup animation appears on your iPhone.
3. Tap Connect. 
4. If you have AirPods Pro (1st or 2nd generation) or AirPods (3rd generation), read the next three screens.
5. If you have AirPods Pro (1st or 2nd generation) or AirPods (2nd or 3rd generation) and you set up "Hey Siri" on your iPhone already, then "Hey Siri" is ready to use with your AirPods. If you haven't set up "Hey Siri" already and you have AirPods Pro (1st or 2nd generation) or AirPods (2nd or 3rd generation), you'll be guided through the setup.
6. Tap Done.
7. If you're signed in to iCloud, your AirPods are set up automatically with any of your supported devices that are signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID."

If you're trying to pair your AirPods to a non-Apple device, please follow the steps in this article instead as that will show you how to pair the devices: Set up AirPods with your Mac and other Bluetooth devices - Apple Support

Take care!
