iOS 14.4 may be by and large a minor upgrade with only a handful of new features and performance improvements. However, there is one neat feature that has caught everyone’s attention and it is the ability to label Bluetooth devices on iPhone and iPad. Apart from making it a tad easier to identify connected devices and enhance audio notifications, the new feature can also have a role to play in improving the headphone audio level management.
With iOS 14.4, you can specify Bluetooth accessories with the pre-defined individual labels such as car stereo and headphone. For those unfamiliar, Apple introduced the headphone audio level detection in iOS 13/iPadOS 13 and watchOS 6. Being part of hearing health, it is designed to help users avoid being exposed to high levels of sound. In iOS 14, users can also measure the volume level of anything that they are listening to in real-time.
- Up next, you should see multiple labels like car stereo, headphone, hearing aid, speaker, and other. Finally, select the preferred label and then quit the setting.
So, that’s the way you can label Bluetooth devices in iOS 14 or iPadOS 14. As outlined above, it can prove to be quite handy for not only identifying connected devices and enhancing audio notifications but also boosting the accuracy of headphone audio level measurements.
