Galaxy Buds 4 Pro: How to Connect to an iPhone

Quick summary: The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro work great with an iPhone. You pair them like any Bluetooth earbuds, and the on-bud controls still work. You just can’t update them or change their settings from the iPhone.

Step by step

1. Charge the buds so they have some battery.
2. Open the case and press and hold the button on the back until the light starts blinking (it cycles through blue, red and green).
3. On your iPhone, open Settings > Bluetooth.
4. Tap Galaxy Buds 4 Pro. After a moment, they show as Connected.

What you can do on the iPhone

Tap the info button next to the buds to rename them, disconnect, forget them, or change the device type (headphones, car stereo, hearing aid and so on).

On the buds themselves:

• Press once to pause or play.
• Press again to skip through music.
• Press and hold to switch between listening modes.
• Volume control works from the iPhone too.

What you can’t do

There’s no way to update the firmware or change settings on an iPhone. If you just want great-sounding earbuds, better than AirPods Pro in my opinion, that’s fine.
