When I receive a call on my iPhone, my WF-1000XM4 earbuds do not immediately connect
IMPORTANT: This article applies only to specific products and/or operating systems. Check Applicable Products and Categories for details.
If you experience a long pause between accepting a phone call and being able to talk to the person while your earbuds are connected, changing the Bluetooth settings of your iPhone might improve the connection speed:
- Go to [Setting] – [Accessibility] – [Touch]
- Tap [Call Audio Routing] (or similar). The default setting is [Auto], which means that the iPhone speaker and microphone are activated first when you pick up the call by tapping your phone.
- Select [Bluetooth Headset] to ensure the WF-1000XM4 speaker and microphone are activated immediately.
