Disable AirPods charging notifications

  • Posted

In Settings > Bluetooth, I can stop my iPhone telling me that my AirPods have charged overnight.

Every morning, I wake up to a notification on my iPhone:

Alex’s AirPods Pro 2 are fully charged.

This is not a surprise. This is not news. This is something iOS could have worked out will always be the case, because I have a charging stand where I put my AirPods overnight. My AirPods are always fully charged when I wake up.

I have, on multiple occasions, searched the “Notifications” area of the iPhone Settings app to find where I can disable this notification, to no avail.

Today, I got a respite: I found an Apple Support document that explains where to configure charging notifications:

You can use your iPhone or iPad to […] notify you when charging is complete.

  1. Put your AirPods in your ears, and make sure they’re connected to your iPhone or iPad.
  2. On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings, select your AirPods, then tap Battery.
  3. Turn on Charging Notifications.

I have no idea why these aren’t also available in the Notifications settings, but I can finally stop these pointless messages.
