1. Name your AirPods

By the way, you don’t have to limit yourself to letters and numbers, because you can even use emojis to name your AirPods.

- Tap on the ‘Settings’;
- Choose your AirPods;
- Scroll down and under ‘Audio’ turn on the slider next to ‘Call detection’.

- Go to your AirPods and under ‘Press and Hold AirPods’ tap ‘Left’ or ‘Right’ depending on which AirPods you want to adjust;
