Do you know how to see how much charge your AiPods have left?
Here are a few easy ways you can check.
Using the Case and your iPhone
- With both your AirPods in their case
- Unlock your iPhone
- Open the AirPod case, the battery life will appear on the iPhone screen
Using just your iPhone – Widgets
- On the Home Screen swipe from LEFT to RIGHT to display the Widgets Dashboard
- Scroll down until you see the Battery Widget
- This will show you the remaining battery life of your devices and a little lightening bolt if they are currently charging.
- If you don’t see this Widget you just need to add it
- Scroll down to the bottom of the Widget screen until you see Edit
- Click on the + which will appear in the top lefthand corner of the screen
- Scroll down the list until you find Batteries and click on it
- Select your preferred display from the options available
- Press + Add Widget
- Drag the Widget to the location of your choice on the Widget Screen
- Press Done
Using just your iPhone – Control Center
You can also check by swiping down in the top righthand corner (to open the Control Center) of your iPhone screen and using the Airplay icon.

Ask Siri
- Whilst wearing your AirPods and with them connected
- Ask “Hey Siri, how is the battery life of my AirPods?”
Check the Light on your AirPod Case
- Open your AirPod Case
- With the Airpods in the case the light shows the status of the AirPods and with the case empty the light shows the status of the case – a green light means fully charged, and an amber light means less than one full charge remains
