Method 1: Clean Your AirPods and Charging Case

If dust, dirt, or other debris gets into your AirPods or Charging Case, it is able to affect their functionality and cause hardware issues. For instance, if there is dust in your Charging Case, your AirPods may not charge correctly.

• Please get a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use tissue or cloth which will break up inside your devices.
• Then, wipe your AirPods and Charging Case with the cloth gently.
• For more compact dust or debris, you are able to use an anti-static brush or new toothbrush to clean out it.

Method 2: Check The Audio Balance On Your iPhone

Audio balance is the level of sound which gets put out of the left and right side of headphones when you are using them to listen to music or watch your favorite video.

If the balance is set to the left or the right, one side of your headphones is going to sound louder than the other. Many people use earbuds these days, and it is able to get rather irritating if the audio coming from them is at different levels.

To check the audio balance on your iPhone, you are able to do these steps:

• At the first step, you have to open Settings.
• After that, you have to tap Accessibility.
• In this step, you are able to tap Audio/Visual.
• To set the audio balance to normal, please drag the slider to the center.

Method 3: Restart Your iPhone

Restarting your iPhone gives it an opportunity to start fresh once it turns back on. Sometimes, restarting your iPhone will be able to fix minor software glitches and errors.

To Restart your iPhone, simply follow these steps below:

• Firstly, you have to press and hold the power button (Sleep / Wake button) on your iPhone until the slide to power off slider appears on the display.
• After that, you are able to swipe the red power icon from left to right to turn off your iPhone.
• Please wait approximately 30 seconds, then simply press and hold the power button again until you see the Apple logo appear in the center of the display.

If the Power button is broken (Option 1)

• Please open the Settings app on your iPhone.
• Then, tap General.
• Just scroll to the bottom and tap Shut Down.
• Now, you have to swipe the red power icon from left to right.
• Lastly, plug your iPhone into a power source using a Lightning cable to turn it back on.

If the Power button is broken (Option 2)

• Please open up the Settings app on your Iphone.
• Then, tap General.
• Also, tap Accessibility.
• Next, tap AssistiveTouch.

You may think that it seems simple. However, resetting your AirPods can fix minor software bugs such as connectivity issues or a quickly draining battery.

• Now, your AirPods have been reset.
• In this step, you are able to connect your AirPods to your device, like you did when you set them up the first time.

Method 5: Reset All Settings

Apparently, lots of iPhone issues are caused when Settings is not set up correctly or by corruption within individual Settings app files. Restoring the Settings app back to factory defaults does not solve every iPhone software issue. But, it is a go-to solution for Apple technicians as it does solve many issues that would be very difficult to track down by hand.

To reset all settings, doing these steps:

• Firstly, go to the Home screen.
• Then, open the Settings app.
