To ensure your software updates run smoothly, there are a few things you can do on your phone, tablet, or computer.

  • If you have a Galaxy phone, first connect your Galaxy Buds series to the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone or tablet, or on the PC manager software in order to check for updates.

Note: The Galaxy Buds Pro and Buds Live are not compatible with Galaxy Buds Manager on the PC.

  • To see what’s included in the update before installing it, you can tap What’s new on the update popup. That way, you'll know exactly what is being changed.
  • Once the software updates have been installed, you can use a single earbud with your device.
  • If you’re experiencing issues while updating your earbuds, you can restart them by placing them in the charging case and closing the lid for 10 seconds.

When a software update is available for the earbuds, the Galaxy Wearable app will notify you with a popup. Tap Update, and then follow the prompts. The earbuds will disconnect from the phone. Once the update is complete, the earbuds will automatically reconnect with the phone.
