With the upcoming iOS update, the latest live translation feature is accessible on more AirPods than you’d think.
Live Translation translates a conversation through your AirPods.
It’s available with AirPods Pro 3, Pro 2, and AirPods 4 with ANC.
It requires iOS 26 and an iPhone with Apple Intelligence.
One exciting feature that Apple touted at its iPhone 17 event on Sept. 9 was live translation for the new AirPods Pro 3. With this skill, you can hear words in another language translated into your own native tongue directly through your AirPods.
If the other person also has the right AirPods and a compatible iPhone, you can both carry on a conversation hands-free. Otherwise, your own words pop up on your iPhone, translated into the other language for the other person to see and hear.
