Although connecting Apple’s famous wireless headphones to an Android mobile doesn’t entail any kind of difficulty, there are a series of limitations inherent to AirPods that don’t allow access to all the information offered by these headphones on Android.
Whether this type of policy imposed by the company itself is more or less understandable, Apple does not offer any Android app or tool that can alleviate the disadvantages of using AirPods in Google’s mobile operating system.
Luckily, a group of independent developers have thought of all those people who run into these limitations, and thus managed to create an open source app called CAPod .
This completely free tool manages to make up for some of the shortcomings that we can experience when connecting AirPods to an Android mobile device.
CAPod, an Android app that gets along very well with Apple’s AirPods
If you are tired of not being able to see all the information on your AirPods when you connect them to your Android phone or tablet, CAPod is the app that you should download and install on your mobile device .
Very simple to use , all you have to do is connect your AirPods through the normal process in the Bluetooth settings, and then open the app to be able to see all the information of these headphones on the screen of your mobile.
