AIRPODS sleepers Attention: iOS 26 comes with a special feature for you!

With iOS 26, the AirPods get several new functions. Especially when you sometimes fall asleep with your earplugs in, a function is really handy.

AIRPODS sleepers Attention: iOS 26 comes with a function for you!

With iOS 26 your AirPods will get a few handy new functions. These include:

• Camera remote control: Take photos or start/stop videos by pressing the stalk of your AirPods. Handy for selfies or hands -free recording;
• Improved sound quality: you get better sounding conversations with your standard and facetime conversations;
• Improved connections: Apple is working on a new feature, which should make it easier to connect AirPods with shared iPads.

But that is not the case. There are more new functions on the way, one of which can be useful for AirPods sleepers.

Are you someone who often listens to music or podcasts with your AirPods while you are in bed? Then there is good news! Because with iOS 26 you get a handy new function. As soon as the ears notice that you have fallen asleep, they automatically pause your music or podcast.

That has a few advantages, because your AirPods are not empty in the morning if they continue to play all night. Moreover, you can immediately listen further to your music or podcast from the moment you fell asleep.

These AirPods get the new functions

With the arrival of iOS 26, your AirPods will get a lot of cool functions in addition to the function before bed! The AirPods Pro 2 and the AirPods 4 will in any case receive (most of) these functions.

Probably the first generation Airpods Pro will also get a few of the improvements, but it is still a matter of waiting for which exactly. The AirPods Pro 1 do not have H2 chip that is used for some of the functions. What we know for sure is that thanks to the latest software, your existing AirPods will get a little better again.
