How To Set Up Audio Sharing

Here is how you can set up to use the feature. In this guide, we have the AirPods but the process should be the same for other headphones.

Step 1: Turn on the AirPods and play some audio on the iPhone.

Step 2: Find an icon with three circles and one triangle. It should be where the audio controls are. It will also appear on the lock screen’s playback block or the Control Center’s audio playback section. When you found it, select it.

Step 3: Choose “Share Audio…” on the menu.

Step 4: Now you have two options to choose from. One is to take the other pair of AirPods you would like to share audio to and place them near the device. Accept the earbuds by selecting them on the pop-up.

When the process finishes, you can have control over the second pair of earbuds’ volume just like you do with yours. The two people can also adjust the volume separately with the controls on his or her headphones.
