Follow the Steps to Connect Your AirPods to an iPhone
1) Open the Settings app

It should only take a few seconds for them to connect, but you will know when they are connected because the AirPods name shows up on your iPhone’s screen.
You’re all set! Now that your AirPods are paired to your phone, open any music app or even YouTube and enjoy some tunes! If you want to disconnect them at any time just toggle Bluetooth off in Control Center, or you can press the button on your AirPods to manually disconnect them.
