To use your AirPods to answer an incoming call on your iPhone, you have a couple of options. The first and simplest method is to double-tap either of your AirPods. This will answer the call, allowing you to start speaking to the person on the other end.
The double-tap feature on AirPods can be customized to perform different actions, and answering a call is one of them. By default, when you double-tap an AirPod, it will activate Siri. However, you can change this setting to answer or end a call instead.
To customize the double-tap feature on your AirPods, follow these steps:
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Bluetooth.”
3. Find your AirPods in the list of connected devices and tap on the “i” icon next to it.
4. Under the “Double-Tap on AirPods” section, select either the left or right AirPod.
5. Choose “Answer/End Call” from the available options.
Once you’ve made this change, you can simply double-tap either of your AirPods to answer an incoming call on your iPhone. This is a convenient way to handle calls without needing to take your phone out of your pocket or bag.
Alternatively, if you have set up Siri on your iPhone, you can also answer or decline a call using your voice. When a call comes in, you can say “Hey Siri, answer the call” to answer it or “Hey Siri, decline the call” to reject it. This method can be helpful when your hands are occupied or you’re unable to tap your AirPods.
In summary, to answer an incoming call on your iPhone using AirPods, you can double-tap either AirPod or use Siri if it’s set up. These options provide convenience and flexibility, allowing you to handle calls without needing to interact directly with your iPhone.
