How does AirBuddy work with automatic switching for AirPods?

AirPods can switch automatically between Apple devices based on activity. AirBuddy works alongside this system feature, whether it is on or off.

Having the feature enabled is preferred, since it allows you to control settings in AirBuddy on your Mac while using AirPods connected to your iPhone, such as changing noise cancellation with a global keyboard shortcut.

Change automatic switching on the Mac

1. Connect AirPods to the Mac.
2. Open AirBuddy settings and select Devices.
3. Locate AirPods, then open their settings from the More menu.
4. Change Connect to This Mac to the option you prefer.

The setting applies to this Mac. Change it separately on iPhone, iPad, and other Macs if needed.

If AirPods move to the Mac at an unwanted time, disconnect them in AirBuddy. Another active Apple device can then reconnect according to its automatic-switching settings.
