Are you the proud owner of a new pair of Beats headphones or earbuds? If so, you’re probably eager to start using them with your iPhone to enjoy your favorite music, podcasts, or audiobooks. Fortunately, connecting Beats to your iPhone is a simple process that only takes a few steps.
Here’s the process of pairing your Beats with your iPhone, as well as some tips in case you encounter any issues.
How to Pair Your Beats with Your iPhone
The first time you connect your Beats to your iPhone, you’ll need to pair them. Here’s how:
- Make sure your Beats are turned on and in pairing mode. For most models, you can do this by pressing and holding the power button until the LED light starts flashing.
- On your iPhone, go to Settings => Bluetooth and make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
- Hold your Beats close to your iPhone. After a few seconds, you should see your Beats appear under “Other Devices” in the Bluetooth menu.
- Tap on your Beats in the list of devices. Your iPhone will connect to your Beats and you’ll see “Connected” next to them in the Bluetooth menu.
That’s it! Your Beats are now paired with your iPhone and ready to use. The next time you turn on your Beats near your iPhone, they should connect automatically.

How to Use Your Beats with Your iPhone
Now that your Beats are connected, you can start using them to listen to audio from your iPhone. Here are a few things you can do:
- Play music: Open the Music app on your iPhone and start playing a song. The audio will automatically route to your Beats.
- Adjust volume: Use the volume buttons on your iPhone to adjust the volume of your Beats. You can also use the volume controls on your Beats, if they have them.
- Take calls: If you receive a phone call while wearing your Beats, you can answer it by pressing the multi-function button (usually the “b” logo) on your Beats.
- Use Siri: If your Beats support Siri, you can activate it by pressing and holding the multi-function button. Then just speak your command and Siri will respond.
How to Fix the Beats Not Connecting to iPhone Issue
If you’re having trouble connecting your Beats to your iPhone, here are a few things you can try:
- Make sure your Beats are charged: If the battery on your Beats is low, they may have trouble connecting. Try charging them for a few minutes and then try again.
- Restart your Beats: Turn your Beats off and then back on again. This can sometimes resolve connection issues.
- Restart your iPhone: Power your iPhone off and then turn it back on. Then try connecting your Beats again.
- Forget and re-pair: If your Beats are still not connecting, try forgetting them in the Bluetooth menu on your iPhone (tap the “i” icon next to your Beats and choose “Forget This Device”). Then go through the pairing process again from the beginning.
- Check for updates: Make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Updating can sometimes resolve Bluetooth issues.
