How do I stop my AirPods from pausing the music when I take them out of my ears?

Hi, I need help on my AirPods 2nd generation because whenever I’m playing my music on Spotify and I take them out of my ears, The music pauses and then when I place them back, it resumes the music. So how can I stop them from pausing my music when I take them out?

This is not an option.

Removing it from your head makes the audio stop.

  1. Go Here: Start and Stop iPhone Audio Playback with AirPods - Apple Support
  2. Scroll To: Stop the audio
  3. As it Reads:

AirPods Max: Remove AirPods Max from your head.

AirPods Pro and AirPods (1st and 2nd generation): Remove both AirPods from your ears, or if you’re wearing just one, remove it.


So...

Recommend it to Apple:

  1. So Here: Feedback - AirPods - Apple
  2. Select: "Feature Request" for the "Feedback Type"
  3. Comment: on why you want this to be an option, and how you think it will help others
  4. Proceed from there as necessary
