9 Exclusive Functions Only Available in Apple AirPods

AirPods are a line of true wireless headphones manufactured by Apple and first launched on December 13, 2016. After two improvements, AirPods Pro is the latest version. With a luxurious, elegant design with upgrades in battery life and sound quality. To bring the perfect audio experience to users. Since its inception, Apple’s wireless headset products have been equipped with nine exclusive functions that technology followers cannot miss.

9 Exclusive Functions of Airpods

1. Can use a headset in emergencies

Alternately using the headset sides helps you save a significant amount of battery. When in emergencies, you must use the headset for longer, leave one AirPod in the charging case, use only the other. The one left after charging will be changed and used (if necessary)

2. Connect Siri virtual assistant

Siri can assist you with many things through your AirPods. You can respond to texts with voice commands instead. The AirPods Pro version also allows you to summon Siri with a simple “Hey Siri” command. Ask for help the same way you would use this virtual assistant on your phone – change songs, turn up the volume, or get the weather forecast. However, proceed with caution in learning about your privacy settings so that Siri doesn’t steal your information.

3. Easily connect AirPods using different devices

Users can easily connect AirPods to iPhone, Macbook, iPad, and Apple Watch at the same time. AirPods will automatically switch audio between devices. One trick that makes the transition super easy is to connect your AirPods to your iPhone first. At this point, the AirPods are connected to the Apple Account, which allows them to work on all Apple devices.

To switch devices, open Control Center. Click down on the Audio card in the upper right corner of the Music section and select the device you want to use.

4. Activity Sharing via AirPods

Since AirPods are true wireless headphones, you can conveniently share one headset with others while listening to music or watching movies. Even if you receive a call while sharing the headset, both of you can hear the phone conversation. However, only one mic is active at a time, so only one person can talk to the caller.

5. Find Your Lost AirPods

AirPods, or true wireless headphones in general, will be easy to drop. However, if you have the Find, iPhone feature enabled on your mobile device and have it connected to your AirPods. You can also use this feature to locate your lost headphones. When you need to find your missing AirPods, go to iPhone Settings and tap on your name. Select Find and turn on Find My iPhone and Send Last Location. To avoid these situations, you should make it a habit to return it to the box as soon as you finish using your AirPods.

6. Know who’s calling without looking at the phone

Thanks to AirPods and Siri, you can hear who’s calling without checking your iPhone. To turn it on, go to iPhone Settings and tap Phone, then Announce Calls and select Always.

7. Use AirPods with a non-Apple device

Maybe, some of you still think that AirPods is only for Apple products. However, the truth is that you can use this line of true wireless headphones on even Android devices. The way to initiate the connection is to place the AirPods in the box, open the lid, and press and hold the pairing button on the back of the box. Launch Bluetooth settings on the device to connect, select AirPods to confirm pairing – similar to how to connect other wireless headphones on the market.

8. Turn AirPods into temporary hearing aids

If you’ve ever had a hard time hearing someone talk, AirPods could be your go-to hearing aid. Apple has introduced a new feature, available on the iOS 12 operating system, called Live Listen. Once set up, place your iPhone close to the person you want to listen to, and the AirPods will produce clearer sound for you.

To set this up:

1. Go to iPhone Settings and click Control Center.
2. Select Customize Controls and click the plus sign next to Hearing.
3. When ready, place the AirPods in your ear and swipe down on the iPhone X (or later) home screen, or swipe up on older models, then click the ear icon.
4. Select Live Listen.
5. Customize the way you use your AirPods

Although the default double-tap setting on AirPods still works as it should. But users can also change them to make them more convenient to use. With AirPods connected to your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings and select Bluetooth. Click the “i” icon next to the AirPods and choose left or right to make changes. Options include play, pause, play by genre, and skip to the next song.
