How to Disconnect Galaxy Buds from an Android Device

  • Swipe down from the top of your Android screen to open the notification panel, and tap on the Bluetooth icon, leading you to the Bluetooth settings.
  • Alternatively, you can go to the Settings app and look for “Connected devices” or “Bluetooth”.
  • In the Bluetooth menu, you’ll see your paired devices. Click on Details.
  • Locate your Galaxy Buds, typically named “Galaxy Buds” or “Galaxy Buds Pro”. Tap on the gear or settings icon next to their name.
  • You’ll find options to ‘Disconnect’ or ‘Unpair’. ‘Disconnect’ temporarily disconnects your Galaxy Buds, while ‘Unpair’ removes them from your device list permanently. Choose as per your needs.
  • After tapping ‘Disconnect’, your Android device will disconnect from the Galaxy Buds. To verify this, the status under the Galaxy Buds’ name in your Bluetooth devices list should now read ‘Disconnected’.

It’s important to note that even when you disconnect your Galaxy Buds, they will remain in your known device list, ensuring an easy reconnection process. But if you decide to ‘Unpair’, remember to switch the Galaxy Buds into pairing mode for any future reconnection.

To fully remove Galaxy Buds from your PC, choose “Remove device”. This will require re-pairing for future use. After disconnection, the status under the Buds’ name should read ‘Disconnected’.
