It’s no secret that Samsung and Apple devices don’t play well together. In fact, it can be quite difficult to get the two brands to work together at all. However, there are a few ways that you can use your AirPods with a Samsung phone. Here’s how:
The first way is to use the AirPods as Bluetooth headphones. To do this, simply put your AirPods in their charging case and open the lid. Then, press and hold the setup button on the back of the case until the LED light starts flashing white. Next, open up your Samsung phone and go to Settings > Connections > Bluetooth. You should see “AirPods” pop up as an available device. Tap on it to connect.
Another way to use AirPods with a Samsung phone is by using them as a hands-free option for calls or FaceTime conversations. To do this, you’ll need to enable Siri on your iPhone (which your AirPods are connected to). Once Siri is enabled, open up the FaceTime app on your iPhone and initiate a call or conversation with someone else who has an iPhone. When asked if you want to answer on your iPhone or through another device, select “Answer on Other Device” and choose your AirPods from the list of available options.
You can also use your AirPods to listen to music stored on your Samsung phone. To do this, simply open up the Music app on your Samsung phone and start playing any song that you want to hear. Then, double-tap either one of your AirPods (or press and hold the force sensor) to bring up Siri. Tell Siri what you want her to do – such as “play music from my phone” – and she will comply accordingly!
So there you have it – three different ways that you can use Apple’s popular wireless earbuds with a Samsung smartphone!
