Starting with iOS 17, Apple introduced a brand new way to mute and unmute calls when you’re on a call through your AirPods.
The feature, available on all recent AirPods models, makes it easier and more convenient for users to mute or unmute their own calls without even touching the iPhone.
Working principle
It’s easy to take advantage of the new features to mute and unmute in iOS 17 or later.
Here’s how you can mute and unmute yourself from your AirPods: When you’re on a call, all you have to do is to press the stem of your AirPods to mute yourself. You can also quickly unmute by pressing the stem again. The area you should press is marked with a green circle in the image above.
On AirPods Max, which don’t have a stem like the AirPods Pro, users can press the Digital Crown button, which will mute and unmute a call while it’s active.
iOS 17’s mute and unmute features work on a variety of different AirPods models, including the original AirPods Pro, AirPods Pro second generation, AirPods third generation, and AirPods Max.
This simple method of muting and unmuting works on all kinds of calls, including regular phone calls, FaceTime audio calls, FaceTime video calls, WhatsApp calls, and basically any calling app that uses the iOS default calling interface.
Can’t mute and unmute calls with AirPods?
If you can’t mute or unmute calls using your AirPods, it’s possible that your iPhone hasn’t been updated to iOS 17 and your AirPods firmware isn’t updated to the latest version. You can fix this by installing iOS 17 on your device.
After installing iOS 17 on your iPhone, your AirPods firmware will also be automatically updated.
So, here’s how you can quickly mute and unmute your AirPods while on a call.
In addition, iOS17 also brings new features to AirPods. Most of the new features are specific to the AirPods Pro 2, but there are some new additions that apply to all AirPods.
Adaptive audio
Adaptive Audio, or Adaptive Noise Control, is a feature of AirPods Pro 2 that combines Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency into an all-in-one mode designed to adjust what’s playing based on what’s around you and your interactions throughout the day .
