## Bluetooth DID (Device Identification) Hook
|
||||
|
||||
Turns out, if you change the manufacturerid to that of Apple, you get access to several special features!
|
||||
|
||||
### Multi-device Connectivity
|
||||
|
||||
Upto two devices can be simultaneously connected to AirPods, for audio and control both. Seamless connection switching. The same notification shows up on Apple device when Android takes over the AirPods as if it were an Apple device ("Move to iPhone"). Android also shows a popup when the other device takes over.
|
||||
|
||||
### Accessibility Settings and Hearing Aid
|
||||
|
||||
Accessibility settings like customizing transparency mode (amplification, balance, tone, conversation boost, and ambient noise reduction), and loud sound reduction can be configured.
|
||||
|
||||
The hearing aid feature can now also be used. Currently it can only be used to adjust the settings, not actually take a hearing test because it requires much more precision. It is much better to use an already available audiogram result.
|
||||
|
||||
>[!NOTE]
|
||||
> To enable these features, enable App Settings -> `act as Apple Device`.
|
||||
> This only works if you use the Xposed method or patch the library yourself. The root module method does not support this feature currently.

- When renaming your AirPods through the app, you'll need to re-pair them with your phone for the name change to take effect. This is a limitation of how Bluetooth device naming works on Android.

For developers interested in the protocol details, check out the [AAP Definitions](/AAP%20Definitions.md) documentation.

|
||||
- **Battery Status Sync**: Get battery status on any device when you connect your AirPods to one of them
|
||||
- **Cross-device Controls**: Control your AirPods from either device when connected to one
|
