How to add Airpods battery widget

On iPhone and iPad, you can add a battery indicator widget for your AirPods to the Home screen. This widget allows you to easily monitor your AirPods’ charge level without opening the Settings app. To do so, just swipe left to the widget window and click on Edit. Then from the list, add the Battery partition and bring it to your home screen.

Unfortunately, there’s no built-in widget on the Mac for AirPods, but I’ll show you how to easily check the charge level of your AirPods with a few simple steps.

On Apple Watch, you have the option to add a battery indicator widget for your AirPods, allowing you to quickly and conveniently check the charge level right from your wrist. All you have to do is open Control Center and tap on the battery % icon.

How to set up a battery widget for AirPods on your iPhone or iPad?

There are several ways to see how much battery power is left in your AirPods. One of those ways is the battery widget.

If you want to see the battery life of your AirPods while wearing them, this method is for you. If you want to display the battery widget in the interface of your device, do the following:

  • Unlock your phone and go to the home page.
  • Swipe to the right to go to the widgets.
  • On the widgets page, scroll down and tap “Edit”.
  • In the upper left corner of the screen, find the “+” icon. Tap on it.
  • Next, when the page loads, go to the bottom of the widget list and tap “Batteries”.
  • When the pop-up window appears, choose a widget size.
  • Drag and drop this widget onto the home page.
  • Tap “Done” in the top right corner.

When you’ve done all of the above, you’ll see the battery life of your AirPods on the widget page, as well as the battery percentage of your iPhone and any other connected devices, such as the Apple Watch.

How to check your AirPods battery on iPhone or iPad with AirPods case?

In addition to the battery widget, you can also check how charged the headphones are with the AirPods case. The method is quite simple, do the following:

  1. First, make sure that Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone or iPad. You can do this through “Control Center” or the “Settings” menu.
    • In case you use “Control Center” the Bluetooth icon should be highlighted in blue.
    • If you decide to check in Settings, find the Bluetooth section there, go to it and check whether the switch is green or not.
  1. When you’re sure Bluetooth is on, hold the AirPods case with the AirPods inside next to your iPhone/iPad and open the case.
  2. If you have done everything correctly, you should see a popup at the bottom of the screen. It’ll show the battery life of the AirPods and their case.

If your AirPods aren’t currently paired with any device, an alternative way to check the charge level could be the indicator light on the case. The LED indicator is located on the front of the AirPods case.

If it blinks green, that means either the case or the AirPods inside are fully charged. If it lights orange, that means they aren’t fully charged.
