Can Airpod be used to answer phone calls … (2024)

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Currently I use Apple watch with a bluetooth headset through which I can hear songs but cannot answer calls through Apple watch.

If I switch to Airpods, can I answer phone calls from Apple watch?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 4
