Are you looking for a way to stop your AirPods from automatically playing music? It can be annoying when your AirPods start playing music without you even asking for it. Fortunately, there is an easy way to stop this from happening.

When you pair your AirPods with an iPhone or iPad, there is a setting that allows them to begin playing music as soon as they are in the range of one another. This setting is called “Autoplay” and it can be found in the Bluetooth settings of your device. To turn Autoplay off simply tap the Autoplay button icon in the upper-right corner of your device’s screen and toggle the switch off.

If turning off Autoplay doesn’t work, another option is to turn off “Automatic Ear Detection”. This setting can be found in the same place as Autoplay – just scroll down until you see it. Toggle the switch to turn it off and this should prevent your AirPods from automatically starting to play music when they are near each other.

Finally, if neither of these options works, then try turning off Handoff altogether. To do this go into the Settings app on your iPhone and select General > AirPlay & Handoff > Handoff and toggle the switch next to it to the Off position. This should definitely stop those spontaneous music sessions from occurring!

We hope this article has helped you find a way to stop your AirPods from automatically playing music whenever they are close together. So put on some headphones and enjoy listening without interruption!
