Galaxy Buds app for iPhone: the complete guide
Samsung doesn't publish an official Galaxy Buds app for iOS. Here's how to pair, configure, and unlock every feature of your buds on iPhone using Earbuds Labs.
1. Pair your Galaxy Buds with iPhone
Open the case with buds inside, hold it near your iPhone, then go to Settings › Bluetooth. Tap your Galaxy Buds when they appear. That gets you audio — but no EQ, no controls, and no widgets. That's where Earbuds Labs comes in.
2. Install Earbuds Labs
Download Earbuds Labs from the App Store. Open it, tap "Connect buds", and grant the Bluetooth permission. Your model is detected automatically — Buds Live, Pro, 2, 2 Pro, 3, and 3 Pro are all supported.
3. Configure the 10-band EQ
Samsung's iOS-free reality means no tuning at all. Earbuds Labs unlocks a proper 10-band parametric EQ with per-ear balance and presets you can save to the cloud. Try "Warm vocals" or build your own.
4. Add home screen and lock screen widgets
Long-press your home screen, tap the plus, and search "Earbuds Labs". Add battery, ANC toggle, and quick EQ widgets in small, medium, or lock-screen sizes. This is impossible with any Samsung-provided software on iOS.
5. Remap taps and long-holds
Head to Controls › Gestures. Reassign any tap to launch Spotify, trigger Shazam, dictate a voice memo, or start translation. This is the missing "official app" experience — on your iPhone.
FAQ
Is Earbuds Labs official? No — we're independent and not affiliated with Samsung. That's precisely why we can ship on iOS where Samsung doesn't.
Will firmware updates still work? Yes, firmware ships over Bluetooth from Samsung directly to the buds; you don't need Samsung's Android app to receive it.
