  2. Put AirPods in your ears. Once in place, they are automatically connected to the audio output from the paired device you're using; you needn't do anything more to hear passive audio like alert sounds and ringtones over your AirPods.

    • Start a song, podcast, video, or other audio playback on your paired device to listen with your AirPods.
    • AirPods connect to iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously. This means that you will hear audio from both your iPhone and Apple Watch on your AirPods without having to switch or pair them again.
  3. Double tap an AirPod. Doing so activates Siri, answers an incoming phone call, disconnects a call, or switches to another call.
