Do you ever wonder whether your AirPods can pause your music, podcasts, or any othr apps on the spot? The answer is a resounding yes! With the advent of Automatic Ear Detection, AirPods are now equipped with the ability to pause and resume playback with just a touch.
Automatic Ear Detection is a feature found in the latest AirPods that allows them to detect when they’re being worn. When both AirPods are inserted in your ears, the audio will automatically start playing. But once one of them is removed from your ear, the audio will pause. This makes it easier for you to answer calls or take quick breaks withot having to manually pause your audio every time.
For those using AirPods Pro (2nd generation), pausing and resuming playback can be done with just a press of the stem on either of your AirPods. To resume playback, simply press it again. And if you want to move onto the next track, double-pressing the stem should do the trick.
Having said all that, if Automatic Ear Detection is turned off for whatever reason, then you won’t be able to pause and resume audio with just a touch like mentioned above. In such cases, you’ll have to connect your AirPods to an iPhone or iPad and go into Bluetooth settings to enable this feature before it starts working again.
All in all, pausing and resuming audio on your AirPods has never been easier thanks to Automatic Ear Detection technology. So go ahead and enjoy listening without having to worry about manually pausing and resuming every time!
The Inability to Pause AirPods
If your AirPods won’t pause music, podcasts, or any other apps, it could be because Automatic Ear Detection is turned off. This feature uses the accelerometer and proximity sensors in the AirPods to detect when they’re in your ears and when they’re out. When Automatic Ear Detection is off, your AirPods won’t be able to detect when you take them out of your ears and therefore won’t pause the audio. To prevent this from happening, make sure that Automatic Ear Detection is enabled in Bluetooth settings on an iPhone or iPad connected to your AirPods.
