In contrast to popular belief, Apple’s AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max are compatible with more platforms than only iOS. We have some good news for you if you’ve been considering wireless earphones but are currently committed to an Android handset. Almost any gadget that can use Bluetooth will work with your AirPods.
To put it simply, you won’t have access to as many bells and whistles as you would on an iPhone. Without a charge, your AirPods’ battery percentage won’t show on your phone, and neither will Siri be able to take your commands. Double-tapping one earbud will bring up Google Assistant, and the MaterialPods(Opens in a new window) app will show you how much juice you have left on your phone.
Requirements:
You have required nothing, but Android devices and AirPods charged. And insert the AirPods into the AirPod case. Make sure the Bluetooth of the Android Tablet/ Phone is turned ON.
After this, follow some simple steps below.

- Siri: Siri won’t work on Android. You can change a song, adjust volume, and do other things on the iPhone.
