Never Miss a Word With Live Listen
One of the coolest features of AirPods is Live Listen. This feature uses your iPhone’s microphone to listen to other people from your AirPods. You can also use it if you’re far away from someone but still want to hear them.
To use this feature, you first need to add the Hearing control to your Control Center. To do this, go to Settings > Control Center and tap the plus icon next to the Hearing control.
Next, you can use this feature by doing the following:
- Put your AirPods in your ears and make sure they’re connected to your iPhone.
- Open your iPhone’s Control Center. If you have an iPhone with Face ID, you do this by swiping down from the top left corner of your screen. If you have an iPhone with Touch ID, swipe up from the bottom of your screen.
- Tap the Hearing control (the one that looks like an ear).
- Tap on Live Listen.
And that’s it. Your iPhone will begin “listening” to your surroundings, and you’ll hear everything from your AirPods.
