One more fun way to check your AirPods’ battery levels is by asking Siri to tell you what’s what on the device they’re connected to.
(If you don’t see the “Batteries” widget, here’s how to add it.) Open the 'Apple Menu,' and then press down the 'Option' key, and as the 'About this Mac' option changes into 'System Information,' select the latter, and then select 'Power' on the left side of the next screen. If your AirPods are connected to the device you’re looking at (and if you have the “Batteries” widget configured), you’ll get an update on their charge level-and the charge level of your other stuff, too! How to Fix: First, check the battery's health status. Then you’ll be able to see that info, assuming your AirPods aren’t in their case with the lid closed.Īlternatively, you could also swipe from left to right across your iOS device’s screen to access the “Today” view. Cursing at your iPhone seems to help, too! But there are other ways to find out the charge level using iOS if you want to-for example, you can swipe up from the bottom of your screen to access Control Center, swipe over to the music controls, and tap the speaker option at the bottom if necessary. Finally, to start up, shut down, or put your Mac to.
Now, in my experience, you may have to close and reopen the case a few times to see that pop-up, depending on whether the moon is in the seventh house and if Jupiter is aligned with Mars. Show Battery Status in the Menu Bar: This option adds a little battery-status indicator icon and menu.
