When using the AirPods 4 with ANC on an Android device, here are the key functions and limitations you should be aware of:
## Compatibility and Basic Functions - The AirPods 4 can be connected to an Android device, and you can use them to listen to music, make calls, and control media playback using gestures like double-tapping to skip tracks or pause/play music.
## Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) - The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) feature does not fully function with Android devices. While you can connect the AirPods 4 with ANC to an Android phone, the ANC functionality will not be available as it requires integration with Apple's ecosystem to work properly.
## Gesture Controls - Gesture controls such as double-tapping to skip tracks, tapping to pause/play music, and call controls work on Android devices. However, you cannot adjust the volume using the force sensor on the stem.
## Other Features - Advanced features like Personalized Spatial Audio, Conversation Awareness, and Adaptive Audio are not fully compatible with Android devices. These features are optimized for use within the Apple ecosystem.
In summary, while the AirPods 4 can be used with Android devices for basic audio and call functions, the ANC and some advanced features will not work as intended due to the lack of integration with the Apple ecosystem.
