Check your AirPod battery

charge on Apple Watch

henever you bring your AirPods case close

to your iPhone and flip open the lid, you will

instantly see how well charged both of them

are. A graphic will appear on the screen to display

the percentage of battery life left in both the AirPods

themselves as well as the case, and this will work

regardless of whether they are the standard set or the

newer, more powerful AirPods Pro.

But what if you don’t want to keep fumbling around for

your iPhone (or indeed your iPad) just to see how much

charge there is remaining on these little sound-pumping

devices? Well, there’s another way you can check the

battery status – direct on an Apple Watch.

Indeed, while the feature isn’t all that obvious and is

a tad hidden (Apple’s support pages fail to mention it

as a method), once you know it is there, it can prove

very useful. You can also check the status of your Apple

Watch’s battery while you’re at it too.

You can keep an eye on the battery level of your AirPods by

taking a look on your wrist

Step-by-step Monitor your AirPods’ battery life

1

Connect your AirPods

Ensure your AirPods are connected by

putting into pairing mode and in Settings>

Bluetooth choosing them (or holding near your

iPhone and tapping ‘Connect’).

2

Open Control Centre

View the Control Centre on your Apple

Watch. Do this by swiping up from the Watch

face or, within an app, by touching and holding

the bottom of the screen before swiping up.

3

Select the battery

Look for the battery icon. This will be the

one that shows you a percentage – a number

showing how well charged your Apple Watch

currently is. Now simply tap that button.

Did you know that you can use your Apple Watch to

check the charge status of your AirPods?
