Are you an Apple AirPods user who wants to keep an eye on your earbuds’ battery levels? With the latest iOS update, Apple has introduced a convenient AirPods battery widget that allows you to monitor the battery life of your AirPods directly from your iPhone or iPad’s home screen. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the simple steps to add the AirPods battery widget.
Step 1: Update Your iOS
Before you can add the AirPods battery widget, ensure that your iPhone or iPad is running on the latest iOS version. Go to the “Settings” app, tap on “General,” and then select “Software Update.” If there is an available update, install it.
Step 2: Connect Your AirPods
Make sure your AirPods are connected to your iPhone or iPad. Open the AirPods case near your device, and they should automatically pair. You can also connect them manually by going to the Bluetooth settings and selecting your AirPods from the list of available devices.

In the list of available widgets, look for the “Batteries” widget. It displays the battery levels of your connected devices, including your AirPods. Tap on the green “+” icon next to “Batteries” to add it to your Today View.
Step 5: Rearrange the Widget
Once added, you can rearrange the position of the AirPods battery widget in your Today View. Press and hold the three horizontal lines next to “Batteries” and drag it up or down to your desired location.
Step 6: Customize the Widget
If you have multiple Bluetooth devices connected to your iPhone or iPad, you can customize the AirPods battery widget to only display the battery status of your AirPods. To do this, tap on the “Batteries” widget in the Today View, and it will expand. Tap on the “Show More” button, and you can select the specific devices you want to monitor.
Step 7: Enjoy Monitoring Your AirPods Battery
