Let’s face it, most of us live frantic, chaotic, fast-paced lives.
And, well, we need alarms and reminders for just about everything.
Just to remember to take out the garbage once a week, I know I need to set my.
Fortunately, we can make our lives easier by using our phones to set reminders and alarms. However, there are certain unanswered issues concerning alarms and Airpods that have been plaguing Apple consumers recently.
“Will my alarm go off if I have my Airpods in my ears?” is one of the increasing queries.
Who wants to hear the alarm feature’s loud clanging reverberate throughout their delicate ear canals?
I know I don’t, but it appears that some, but not all, Airpods users forget to turn off their alarms when their buds are in their ears.
Let’s investigate why this is the case and what you can do about it.
With AirPods in, will my alarm go off?
Yes, your alarm will go off with your Airpods if you’re on iOS 12 or later. However, if you’re on iOS 11 or earlier, it’s possible that it won’t work. Your alarm, on the other hand, is programmed to sound on your iPhone and will be communicated through whichever audio function is active at the moment.
So, would your alarm just go off on your iPhone, or might it go off on any device to which your Airpods are connected and which has the alarm set?
What if you’re on the phone? What happens if you fall asleep with your Airpods on?
Continue reading to see how shocked (pardon the pun) you are by the responses.
Will my iPhone be the only one to hear the alarm?
Short version of the long answer: Yes. Here’s how it works: The alarm will sound on the iPhone before being sent to the Airpods, regardless of whether the phone is attached to a cable or wireless headset.
Is it possible to set my alarm using simply my AirPods?
You may not want to wake up your partner, children, or roommate with a loud alarm.
However, the alarm does not play only through your Airpods; it begins on your phone and is then transmitted to the headset.
A third-party program called Earphone Alarm is the only way to get the alarm to just go through your headset.
When your alarm goes off, this software mutes the phone speakers, allowing you to hear it solely through your Airpods.
If I’m on a phone or video call, will my alarm go off?
Unfortunately, even if you’re in the middle of a video or phone chat, your alarm will sound.
Your phone will vibrate first, followed by the sound of your alarm within the Airpods.
When my Airpods are connected, will my iPhone’s bedtime alarm sound?
Let’s start by defining what a bedtime alarm is.
This is a feature that can assist you in managing your sleep routine.
It reminds you when it’s time to go to bed, which applications to focus on before sleeping, and when it’s time to wake up.
By heading to the Health app > Browse and selecting the Sleep option, you may set it up.
Set your sleep objectives and the number of days you want the alarm to go off.
Choose your alarm tone and volume, and you’re done! You’ve completed your task.
If I sleep with my Airpods in, will my alarm go off?
Airpods were meant to be worn when awake or asleep, and they’re fairly pleasant while sleeping.
Their batteries, on the other hand, deplete rapidly and may not last the entire night. On a charge, it’ll probably last 5 hours.
You might want to put them in after you wake up for a restroom break in the middle of the night and make sure the alarm is set.
Will there be any alerts if I change the settings on my AirPods?
The catch with Airpods is that you can choose between noise canceling and transparency modes while configuring them.
You may also change a number of settings, including what occurs when you press and hold the left Airpod.
There’s also an ear recognition function that detects when you’re wearing an Airpod.
When you take your Airpods out and back in, you may pause and restart playing.
For the most part, the system chooses which of the Airpods’ microphones to utilize by default (as there is one in each bud).
You may, however, turn off either of them manually.
If your AirPods are linked with your device, the one thing you can’t do is stop the alarm from sounding.
You may either unpair them or turn off the alert.
Closing Thoughts
If your AirPods are linked with your iPhone and an alarm is set to sound, the alarm will sound until you disable it or unpair the Airpods first.
Given that the AirPods battery life isn’t even eight hours, your Airpods will most likely run out of charge before your morning alarm goes off.
