The AirPods 3 can quickly connect to your phone via the auto-connect feature. First, make sure your phone's Bluetooth function is turned on.
Next, open Settings on your phone and select the Bluetooth option.
Your AirPods 3 should show up on a nearby device, tap their name to pair.
Once you've successfully paired the first time, the next time you just need to open the AirPods charging case and hold it close to the phone to automatically connect, without having to manually pair it again. This saves time and makes it easier to enjoy music and phone calls.
