All of these features requires your AirPods Pro 2 to be running their latest version, and your iPhone running iOS 18.1, iPad running iPadOS 18.1, or your Mac running macOS Sequoia 15.1 or later. Your AirPods should update automatically if kept in a close proximity to your iPhone/iPad with enough battery on both.
These features are only available for the AirPods Pro 2 (Lightning and USB-C) and isn’t available for any other AirPods model.
