If the AirPods Pro do not appear or connect

  • Check Bluetooth and pairing mode. Confirm Bluetooth is on in the Galaxy settings and repeat the gesture for your AirPods Pro generation. Samsung says an accessory must be in pairing mode to be detected.
  • Remove an old pairing and try again. If the AirPods connected before but no longer do, remove the saved Bluetooth connection from the phone, then put the AirPods back in pairing mode and pair them again.
  • Restart or update if needed. Samsung recommends checking for software updates or restarting the phone if the connection still fails. Settings labels may vary by Galaxy model and software version.

For model-specific steps and further Galaxy Bluetooth troubleshooting, consult Samsung Support.
