How to use Voice Isolation Mode on AirPods during calls

When answering important calls on the go, there can be a lot of background noise and interference. Thankfully, TWS like Apple’s AirPods offer a voice isolation mode that helps reduce ambient voices and improves the sound quality to be audible at all times, be it public transport or a busy restaurant.

With iOS 15, Apple first introduced Voice Isolation to FaceTime audio/video calls and some third-party apps. On iOS 16.4 and later, users could use voice isolation on regular phone calls as well. The latest iOS 18 adds voice isolation to AirPods to make the audio clear in loud or windy environments.

During your call, swipe down from the top right-hand corner of your iPhone to open Control Centre. Then, you need to tap on the Mic Mode. Following that you need to select Voice Isolation.

It is worth noting that your selection will only affect the app that is used to make the call. Also, the feature will persist until you choose a different Mic Mode.

If you want your iPhone to seamlessly adapt to your call, you can try the new Automatic Mic Mode. This mode switches between different microphone settings based on your call type and environment. It ensures you get an optical audio quality throughout the call.

That’s how you can use Voice Isolation in iOS 18. This feature will help in providing professional call quality in any environment with your AirPods. This feature can help users take any call anywhere without having to worry about calling them back or walking over to a less crowded place to ensure better audio.
