Tips For Getting The Most Out Of Your AirPods
To get the most out of your Apple AirPods regardless of which model you choose, its best to:
- Keep them clean: Wipe down regularly as they accumulate dust, dirt and debris over time.
- Customise controls to your liking: Take advantage of Siri voice commands by customising controls in Settings > Bluetooth > Your Device Name.
- Use Find My App: If you ever misplace your AirPods then using Find My can help to find where your device is.
- Optimise Battery Life: Turn off Automatic Ear Detection if not required, keep charging case charged up & make sure to turn off bluetooth when not in use.
- AirPods can automatically switch between iPhone, Mac & iPad when needed.
