Noise cancelling with 1 airpod

i figured it out. normally i switch between modes from the control centre which kept asking to put both earbuds on to activate noise cancelling. i didnt realize you have to squeeze the 1 earbud itself to switch between modes. Essentially switching modes cannot be done from the device you are using but rather the bud itself.
ok so toggling noise cancellation works within settings > bluetooth > airpod. it doesnt work from the control centre. those who claims it works for them, does it work via control centre? or are you doing it through the settings.
Success!
Just tested all methods of toggling with either L or R bud (Control Centre, Settings & Siri via both “Hey Siri” & holding Sleep button)... All worked for me.
I wonder if your AirPods have updated to the latest firmware? My firmware’s 2B588.
I just tested my second pair of AirPods pros and toggling from the control center worked. That being said it is currently on an older software version right now. Will update this thread again after it updates to the newest firmware.
yep. Keep in mind my second pair of AirPod pros worked with control center. Not sure why the first pair didn’t. Tried everything to get it working. My second pair is still on an older firmware so waiting to see if it still works once it updates.
Airpods updated to 2b588 and I’m able to toggle noise cancelling via control centre. Guess there was an issue with my first pair. I wonder if it made a difference by enabling noise cancelling prior to the update vs after the update.
