I still can listen to music with them but the controls aren’t working at all anymore. I checked the settings and it’s showing as if I’m using a lightning adapter which is still not the case. Help please.
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16
Hi there SamZabala,
If the controls on your EarPods aren't working as expected, follow these steps from If your headphones don't work with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to see if they resolve the issue:
Check for debris, damage, or loose connections
1. Check for debris in the headphone port on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
2. Check your headphone cable, connector, remote, and earbuds for damage, like wear or breakage.
3. Look for debris on the meshes in each earbud. To remove debris, gently brush all openings with a small, soft-bristled brush that's clean and dry.
4. Firmly plug your headphones back in. If your iOS device has a case, remove the case to get a firm connection.
If this issue continues, connect the EarPods to another device to isolate whether this happens on multiple devices or only with a specific device.
Cheers!
My earpods controls stopped working after updating to iOS 16
