If you’ve recently been using your AirPods and noticed that they’re not pairing correctly, you may be seeing a red exclamation point when trying to pair them. This can be a bit alarming, but don’t worry! We’ll explain why this is happening and how to fix it.

When you see the red exclamation point on your AirPods, it typically means that there has been a pairing error. This could be due to dust or debris in the connection points inside the charging case, or because your iPhone or iPod touch isn’t running the latest version of iOS (or iPad isn’t running the latest version of iPadOS).

So what do you do if your AirPods are flashing a red exclamation point? Here are some tips:

1. Check for dust and debris: Before anything else, take a look at the connection points in your case to make sure there is no dirt or debris that might be causing an issue.

2. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled: On your device, go to Settings > Bluetooth and make sure Bluetooth is on.

3. Put both AirPods in the charging case: Make sure both AirPods are in the charging case so they can recharge if needed.

4. Check for software updates: Make sure that your device has the most up-to-date version of iOS (or iPad has most up-to-date version of iPadOS). If not, go ahead and update it now!

If all else fails, try resetting your AirPods by pressing and holding the setup button on your charging case until you see an amber light flash three times. That should do it!

We hope these tips have helped you get back to listening with your AirPods without any issues. Happy listening!
