Apple has released new software for AirPods with the iOS 26 update. This update, available for the AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4, is version 8A356. The update adds many new features to AirPods.

AirPods Models Will Receive Improvements

With the update, AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 offer higher-quality audio for phone calls and video calls. They also support studio-quality audio recording for interviews, podcasts, and videos. Users can now use their AirPods as a remote to take photos or record videos through the Camera app.

Among the new features is auto-pause. If you fall asleep while listening to music, your AirPods will pause the music. When the earbuds’ battery is low, the user will receive a charging notification. An automatic switching feature has also been added for CarPlay.
