How to Change the Volume and Pause Music?

From your phone’s lock screen, you may manage the volume, as well as pause, play, and stop the music you’re listening to. Each pair of AirPods will have its own volume settings, allowing listeners to tailor the levels to their preferences.

When using two pairs of AirPods or Beats headphones to share music, you may control each set independently. You may use the Control Centre controls to adjust the level, as well as play, pause, and stop music individually.

By touching on the AirPlay symbol, you can access volume controls in the app you’re listening to. Both headphone volume controls will display on the screen as huge vertical bars if you press and hold the volume slider in the Control Centre.

You may adjust the level of each pair of headphones using the headphones themselves. With AirPods Max, for example, use the Digital Crown to turn up the volume. Only that specific set of headphones will be affected these ways.
