How do I update my AirPods software

Ensure that your iPhone, iPad, and/or Mac are fully up-to-date:

Update to latest version of iOS and iPadOS or iPadOS

Update to latest version of macOS

Firmware updates are delivered automatically while your AirPods are charging and in Bluetooth range of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac that's connected to Wi-Fi. If this doesn't happen automatically after some time, or you don't have an Apple device nearby, you can set up an appointment at an Apple Store or with an Apple Authorized Service Provider to update your firmware.
