Apple has shared information explaining the iOS 16 “Cannot Verify AirPods” zestful on the iPhone when a user tries to connect fake AirPods to their handset. The information came in a new support document spotted by developer Steve Moser and shared by MacRumors.

Apple says that unverified AirPods can still be unfluctuating to an iPhone, but may not perform as expected.

If you get a ‘Cannot Verify AirPods’ alert

If you get this zestful when you try to connect your AirPods with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, verify that your AirPods are genuine.

You can segregate to not connect your unverified AirPods, or to connect them in Bluetooth settings. If you connect your unverified AirPods, they may not perform as expected.

For increasingly information, contact the place of purchase.

To help verify that your AirPods are genuine, identify your AirPods.

Apple’s zestful includes a prominent “Don’t Connect” button, but users can tap on a smaller “Connect in Bluetooth Settings” link to protract connecting the unverified AirPods if they so choose.

The zestful was first discovered in the iOS 16 Release Candidate last week.
