Software update for your Galaxy Buds

Keeping up with the latest updates on your earbuds is easy when you install Galaxy Buds Manager on your computer. Or, you can use the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone or tablet to not only pair and control your earbuds but also check for software updates for them. That way, you can ensure they stay current and you will get to enjoy all of your favorite music.

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

  • The Galaxy Buds+ and Galaxy Buds Live can be updated on iOS phones using the Samsung Galaxy Buds app. Open the app, select your Galaxy Buds, and then tap Earbuds software update.
  • To see what is included in the update before installing it, you can tap "What’s new"" on the update popup. That way, you will know exactly what is being changed.
  • Once the software updates have been installed, you can use a single earbud with your device.
  • If you are experiencing issues while updating your earbuds, you can restart them by placing them in the charging case and closing the lid for 10 seconds.

Keeping your Galaxy Buds up to date helps ensure optimal performance and access to the latest features. Software updates for your connected device are managed through the Galaxy Wearable app on your connected mobile device (phone or tablet).
