1. How to Start Sharing Your AirPods Audio

Before you begin, make sure you have a compatible iPhone or iPad (iPhone 8 or newer, iPad 5th generation or newer, iPad Air 3rd generation or newer, or iPad mini). Once you have the necessary devices, follow these steps:

1. Open your music app and play a song.

3. Hold the second pair of AirPods or Beats headphones close to your device.


4. A notification will appear on your screen with the option to "Share Audio". Tap on it.


5. Press and hold the button on the back of the charging case of the second pair of AirPods or Beats headphones to pair them.


6. Alternatively, your friend can also approve the pairing on their device.

2. How to Control Settings When Sharing Music

Once both pairs of AirPods or Beats headphones are connected to your iPhone or iPad, you can control the audio settings as follows:

• You can adjust the volume by dragging the volume slider at the top near the song title.


• If you want to adjust the volume for each set of headphones separately, drag the slider under each pair of headphones.


• You can change or skip songs using the usual playback controls.


• Both pairs of headphones will be displayed in the Control Center or Lock screen.

3. How to Stop Audio Sharing with AirPods

When you're done sharing audio, you can easily disconnect the second pair of AirPods or Beats headphones by following these steps:

1. Open the Control Center.


2. Tap on the AirPlay icon to view the connected headphones.


3. Uncheck the box next to the AirPods or Beats headphones you want to disconnect.

By doing this, not only will the sharing of audio stop, but the second pair of headphones will be disconnected from your device entirely. If you accidentally disconnect the wrong pair, you can repeat the pairing process to connect them again.
