10 - Listen to Conversations in Other Places Whether you want to hear what your family is talking about in another room or just need to hear the people around you, your AirPods have a feature called Live Listen. This feature will basically turn your iPhone into a microphone. More precisely, it will use your iPhone's mic to "listen" to its surroundings, and you'll be able to hear those sounds in your AirPods. To use Live Listen, you'll first need to add it to your Control Center by going to Settings Control Center and tapping the plus icon on the left side of the Hearing control. Next, you can use Live Listen by doing the following: 1. First, make sure you have your AirPods in your ears and that they're connected to your iPhone. 2. Open the Control Center. If your iPhone has Face ID, you'll need to swipe down from the top right corner of your screen. If you have an iPhone with Touch ID, simply swipe up from the bottom of your screen. 3. Tap the Hearing control, which looks like an ear. 4. Select Live Listen. And that's it. Now, you can leave your iPhone wherever you want, and you'll hear any sounds around it in your AirPods.
