Tap on the Share Audio button.
Next, ask your friend to have their AirPods or AirPods Pro inside the case and open the lid when they’re close to your iPhone.

Tap on the Share Audio option once again.
To stop sharing, all you have to do is, tap on the checkmark next to the headphones that you wish to disconnect.
