You can mute your AirPods Pro during a call by pressing the stem of either AirPod. By default, one press mutes and unmutes, while a double press ends the call, but you can customize this behavior in your settings.
How to Mute and Unmute During a Call:
During a phone call, FaceTime call, or other audio calls, you can quickly mute and unmute yourself using the following method (assuming the default settings):
- Press the stem of either your left or right AirPod Pro once. This will mute your microphone.
- Press the stem of either AirPod Pro once again to unmute your microphone.
Customizing Mute/Unmute and End Call Actions:
You can actually customize what happens when you press the stem on your AirPods Pro. This allows you to switch the actions for mute/unmute and end call. Here's how:
- Wear your AirPods Pro and ensure they are connected to your iPhone or iPad.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap Bluetooth.
- Find your AirPods Pro in the list of devices and tap the "i" icon (information) next to them.
- Scroll down to "Press and Hold AirPods".
- Select "Left" or "Right" to configure each AirPod individually.
- Under "Mute/Unmute" you should see the available options. Depending on your device and software version, these might include:
- End Call
- Mute
- Change the function assigned to a single press, so if you want to end call via single-press, then choose End Call. Otherwise, choose Mute.
Now, pressing the stem on the AirPod you configured will perform the selected action (either mute/unmute or end the call, depending on your choice).
Important Considerations:
- Check Your Settings: Always double-check your AirPod Pro settings to ensure the press controls are configured as you expect.
- Firmware Updates: Make sure your AirPods Pro have the latest firmware installed. Updates often include performance improvements and bug fixes.
- Device Compatibility: The steps and options may vary slightly depending on your iOS or iPadOS version.
