Pair Two Sets of AirPods to One iPhone


There's something romantic about sharing one of your AirPods with someone so that you can both hear the same song, but I've been handed my fair share of grimy, waxy AirPods that I'd love to decline. If that sounds familiar, ask your friends to pair their grody AirPods to your device.

This also works with wireless Beats headphones. The following are all of the supported models that you can use with this setting:
  • AirPods Pro
  • AirPods (1st generation) or later
  • Solo Pro
  • Powerbeats Pro
  • Powerbeats3
  • Beats Solo3 Wireless
  • Beats Studio3 Wireless
  • BeatsX
    Connect your AirPods to your iPhone > Tap the AirPlay icon in the Control Center or from your lock screen or the app you're listening to > Share Audio > Hold your friend's AirPods or Beats headphones near your device (keep the AirPods in their case, but with the lid open, put all others into pairing mode) > When your friend's headphones appear on-screen, tap Share Audio

    Customize Your 'Do Not Disturb' Gates

No, she still hasn't turned off Do Not Disturb, but she has added me to a list of contacts that can breach its ironclad gates. If you'd consider them an emergency contact, you should consider adding them to that list. Find the desired person in  Contacts  > Tap  Edit  in the top right corner > On the edit page, click either  Ringtone or Text Tone > At the top, you'll find  Emergency Bypass , which will allow sounds and vibrations from that person even when Do Not Disturb is Enabled. You may want to select a quiet ringtone if you choose to do this—after all, not every text and call after bedtime is a dire emergency.

    Introduction

    After 12 years of the iPhone, it's no longer a novelty—and neither are most of the "hacks" that you'll find online. You probably already know that you should close out your background apps for faster performance or that you can put the device into Airplane Mode to charge it up more quickly.  Here's something you may not have considered, though: with every operating system update comes new hidden tricks. Last September, iOS 13, the latest software, introduced some fancy new features like Dark Mode on all devices, but as with previous software rollouts, there are some covert Easter eggs to discover.

    The Cursor Is Easier to Move When Editing Text

    Image
    Before, whenever you needed to move the cursor, you could tap-and-hold to bring up the magnified view, then drag to where appropriate. The magnifier was kicked to the curb in iOS 13, so now you just grab the cursor and move it without much thought. Some have found the change a bit annoying, since your finger basically blocks the cursor.
