How do I mute AirPods Pro?

Answered by Douglas Hiatt

To mute your AirPods Pro, you can follow a few simple steps. Please note that these steps assume you are using an iPhone with the latest iOS version.

1. Ensure that your AirPods Pro are connected and paired with your iPhone. You can do this by opening the lid of the AirPods Pro case near your iPhone and following the on-screen prompts.

2. Once your AirPods Pro are connected, you can access the call settings by tapping on the active call from the lock screen. This can be done by clicking the name or number of the person you are on the call with.

3. Tapping on the active call will bring up the call settings menu. Here, you will find various options, including the microphone icon to mute or unmute your AirPods Pro.

4. To mute your AirPods Pro, simply tap the microphone icon. This will disable the microphone on your AirPods Pro, preventing the person on the other end of the call from hearing you. The microphone icon will usually turn red or display a crossed-out microphone symbol to indicate that your AirPods Pro are muted.

5. To unmute your AirPods Pro, tap the microphone icon again. This will enable the microphone, allowing you to speak and be heard during the call.

It’s important to note that muting your AirPods Pro will only affect the microphone and not the audio playback. If you wish to pause or resume audio playback, you can use the playback controls on your iPhone or other connected devices.

In addition to muting your AirPods Pro during calls, you can also mute them during other activities such as listening to music or watching videos. This can be done by adjusting the audio settings on your device, usually by tapping the volume icon and lowering the volume to mute the audio.

Muting and unmuting your AirPods Pro is a straightforward process that can be easily done through the call settings menu on your iPhone.
