Even though Pixel Buds are designed primarily for Android, they work seamlessly with iPhones. However, you won’t have access to the dedicated app when using Pixel Buds on an iPhone.

As a Bluetooth device, Pixel Buds must be discoverable so that your iPhone can find them easily. To connect them to the iPhone, you need to first understand how to make them discoverable.

How to Manage Pixel Buds on iPhone

You may also want to manage your Pixel Buds once they have been connected to your iPhone successfully. Because Pixel Buds were primarily created for Android phones, there are fewer controls available on iPhones when compared to Android phones. As a result, only a few control options are available through the settings menu.

This app lets you change the name of the Pixel Buds. It also lets you choose the device type of the Pixel Buds, like Headphones, Speakers, and so forth. And lastly, you can check the battery percentage of your Pixel Buds.

Check Pixel Buds Battery on iPhone

Adding the Battery Widget to the home screen of your iPhone will make it easy to check the battery status of your Pixel Buds. Go to the home screen, long tap on one of the empty spaces, and wait until your phone vibrates to see the battery level.

I use Pixel Buds with both my Android phone and iPhone, and the audio quality does not seem to be affected by the connected device – they sound great with both. You should note that the audio quality can be adjusted if you use the same music app on both phones. In my case, I used the same app on both phones for a fair comparison of audio quality.
