Once you have done that, you can activate Siri by saying “Hey Siri” or by pressing and holding the side button on your AirPods. Once Siri is activated, you can start giving it commands. For example, you can say “Play some music” or “Send a message to John.”
If you want to adjust the volume with your AirPods, you can say “Turn up the volume” or “Turn down the volume.” You can also say “Mute” or “Unmute” if you need to mute or unmute the sound.
Siri is a helpful tool that can make using your AirPods much easier. With Siri, you can control many different aspects of your AirPods without ever having to take them out of your ears.
