Pair & Connect JBL Charge 6 With iPhone

To start, launch the Apple App Store on your iPhone. In the search bar, type JBL Portable and tap Search. Locate the official app from Harman Consumer, Inc. and tap on it. Launch the app once you install it.

Ensure the speaker has some charge and press the power button once. The LED status ring around the power button will light up and the speaker will perform its startup chime.

If it’s your first time powering it on, the Bluetooth LED will start blinking and making a recurrent sound. This means that it is in pairing mode. If the speaker doesn’t enter pairing mode immediately you turn it on, simply press the Bluetooth button once. You can also do this if the speaker is already paired to a device.

Set Up JBL Charge 6 With iPhone

To set up the speaker, return to the JBL Portable app—your speaker should appear on the home screen once connection is successful or once you select it. You can now use the app to access firmware updates, EQ presets, and Auracast for stereo pairing of two or more Charge 6 speakers.

Play music or a video—audio should stream immediately through the JBL Charge 6. Adjust the volume using your iPhone’s volume controls or the speaker’s Plus (+) and Minus (–) buttons.

The Charge 6 can remember multiple devices it is paired to, but only one can play at a time. To switch between paired devices, simply pause on one device and start playback on the other.

Using Multiple Devices (Auracast)

You can also add a second JBL speaker. Simply ensure both speakers support Auracast (the JBL Charge 6 does).

Power on and put both speakers in Bluetooth pairing mode. Connect your iPhone to one of the speakers first.

Press the Auracast button on the first speaker, then on the second to link the speakers together. You’ll hear a chime, and Auracast LEDs will indicate the two are linked—now both play in sync.

Tips for Optimal Performance

Placement: For best sound, place the speaker on a flat, stable surface away from corners.

    Volume Management: Adjust volume on both your iPhone and the speaker—setting one too high can distort audio.

    Waterproof Protection: The Charge 6 is IP67-rated—feel free to use it by the pool or at the beach, but rinse off any saltwater residue.
