What works on an Android phone
- Music, video sound and calls: Apple's words for a non-Apple device are "you can listen and talk" (Apple's support page on non-Apple devices (published September 14, 2026))
- Pairing: over Bluetooth from the phone's Bluetooth settings; the steps are below
Noise canceling and Transparency: Apple doesn't list them as iPhone-only. Apple's listening-mode page (published September 14, 2026) says pressing and holding the stem on either earbud switches between the two by default, and that control is on the earbuds themselves.
What needs an iPhone or other Apple device
Apple's AirPods Pro 3 tech specs say that on non-Apple devices "functionality may be limited." Apple's own requirement lines:
- Siri: "You can't use Siri" on a non-Apple device
- Heart-rate tracking: for workouts "with the Fitness app and compatible third-party apps on iPhone running iOS 26 and later"
- Live Translation: iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 16 or later (Apple's Live Translation guide)
- Hearing Test and Hearing Aid: a compatible iPhone or iPad; the Hearing Aid feature also works with a compatible Mac
- Hearing Protection: a compatible iPhone, iPad or Mac
- Find My: "requires iOS 26 or later"
- Personalized Spatial Audio: an iPhone with a TrueDepth camera to create the profile
How to pair AirPods Pro 3 with an Android phone
- On the phone, turn Bluetooth on (on a Samsung phone: Settings, Connections, Bluetooth)
- Open the AirPods Pro 3 case with the earbuds inside and hold it next to the phone
- Double-tap the front of the case so the status light flashes white

Common questions
Do AirPods Pro 3 work with Android?

Apple ties heart-rate tracking, Live Translation, the Hearing Test and Hearing Aid, and Find My to Apple devices.

How do I pair AirPods Pro 3 with an Android phone?
