Enable/disable automatic switching from one device to another
Apple, which emphasizes ecosystem experience, has built a feature into AirPods that allows the headphones to quickly switch between devices. If you connect AirPods to iPhone first, when you want to use Mac, the AirPods connection will automatically switch to Mac.
Auto-switching sounds great, but it can also be annoying at times because sometimes the system switches from one device to another incorrectly, creating confusion for users who want to turn it off. If you want to enable or disable this feature, you can follow the steps below to set it up.
First connect the AirPods to iPhone and open “Settings”, find the pair of AirPods under Apple ID and click, click “Connect to this iPhone”, there will be two options, that is “Automatic” and ” last connected to this iPhone”.
If you choose “Connected to this iPhone last”, the next time you put on AirPods, the headset will be connected to the last connected device (perhaps a Mac) instead of the device you’re using now; if “Automatic” is selected, AirPods will choose to connect to the device you’re currently actively using.
Ad

If you want to enable the broadcast notification function, please check “Notification” after clicking “Settings”, find “Broadcast notification” and turn it on, after turning on “Broadcast notification”, then click “Headset”; When you wear AirPods and receive a notification, Siri will automatically notify you by voice.
Check your AirPods battery
If you are someone who cares about the power of the device, you also need to know what the power of the AirPods is. There are many ways to understand the current power of AirPods; for example, whenever the headphones are connected to the iPhone, the connection success animation that appears on the iPhone screen will change to show the current power status of the AirPods headphones and the charging case.
Besides, you can also grasp the current power status via the “Battery” widget on your iPhone or iPad. If you are currently inconvenient to take any device to check the power status of the AirPods, you can also call Siri and ask Siri about the current AirPods directly. Suppose you connect AirPods to Apple Watch today, then the control center of the watch can also directly query the current power status of the earphones.
Force sensor control
If you want to control AirPods, in addition to iPhone, you can also do a simple control using the force sensor on the handle of the headset. Both the AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro series earphone handles have built-in force sensors, and different click methods can perform different controls.

The way to turn it on is also quite simple: when you put the headset on and connect it to your iPhone or iPad, open the control center, then press and hold the long lock to adjust the volume (if the AirPods are connected correctly, the pattern of the headset will be displayed at the top) and the “Spatialized Stereo” option will appear in the lower right corner of the screen, just turn it on.
