Check airpods battery on android

While an iPhone or Mac will automatically notify you when your AirPods battery is low, Android devices do not have this feature built-in. Fortunately, a simple third-party application is all you need to check the AirPods battery level on Android and see if it’s time for a charge.

Before you start: You will need your AirPods, an Android device with Bluetooth enabled, and access to the Google Play Store to download an app.

How to view your AirPods battery percentage on Android

By installing a simple application from the Google Play Store, you can easily monitor your AirPods’ charge level directly from your Android device.

Open the Google Play Store and use the search bar to find an “AirPods battery app.” Popular options like MaterialPods or AirBattery are free to install.
If they are not already connected, pair your AirPods to your Android device by opening your device’s Bluetooth settings and selecting them.
Launch the battery app you just installed and follow the on-screen instructions to grant it the required permissions, which may include access to Bluetooth, background activity, and the ability to display over other apps.
Within the app, tap the tile that matches your AirPods model. A pop-up window will immediately appear showing the current battery percentage for your AirPods and their charging case.

Pro tip: Most of these apps also add the battery status to your notification shade, so you can check the charge at a glance without having to open the app itself.

The biggest benefit of using a battery monitoring app is convenience. It eliminates the guesswork of figuring out when to charge your AirPods, preventing them from dying in the middle of a phone call or your favorite song. Knowing the exact battery level of each AirPod and the case helps you better manage your usage throughout the day.

While AirPods were designed for the Apple ecosystem, this solution helps bridge the feature gap for Android users. Although you lose access to Siri, core functions like play/pause, skipping tracks, and switching between noise-cancellation modes will still work perfectly. You can even rename your AirPods on Android through the Bluetooth settings, giving you a more integrated experience.
