Find your AirPods firmware

version

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. You can also use your iPhone,
iPad, or Mac to check that your AirPods
have the latest version.

To use your iPhone or iPad to check that

your AirPods are up to date, make sure that
you have the latest version of iOS or
iPadOS. Go to Settings > Bluetooth, then
tap the Info button next to the name of
your AirPods. Scroll down to the About
section to find the firmware version.

To use your Mac to check that your AirPods

are up to date, make sure that you have the
latest version of macOS. Press and hold the
Option key while choosing Apple menu  >
System Information. Click Bluetooth, then
look under your AirPods for the firmware
version. With macOS Ventura, you can also
choose Apple menu  > System
Settings, click Bluetooth, then click the Info
button next to the name of your AirPods.

If 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.
