The new Pausing Media When Falling Asleep feature intelligently detects when you've dozed off and automatically pauses your audio. This solves the common problem of losing your place in a podcast or audiobook, or waking up to a drained battery. Now, you can listen comfortably at night without worrying about setting a timer or missing your content.

This feature introduces a new level of intelligence to your AirPods Pro. Using advanced motion detection, your AirPods can now recognize the subtle changes that indicate you have fallen asleep. When this happens, playback is automatically paused. This capability is managed by a simple new toggle in your AirPods Pro settings called Pause Media When Falling Asleep.
This feature is perfect for anyone who enjoys listening to calming music, podcasts, or audiobooks before bed. Once enabled, you no longer need to rely on sleep timers within your apps. If you wake up and want to continue listening, simply press the stem on your AirPods or the play button in your media app to resume.
Pausing Media When Falling Asleep is a convenient, set-it-and-forget-it feature that makes your listening experience smarter and more seamless. By automatically pausing audio when it detects you're asleep, it ensures you can enjoy your favorite content without interruption or worry. This small but powerful addition helps you save battery and never lose your place again.
