how to fix airpod not working on snapchat

It is a common fact that apple does not allow some third-party apps to record videos or voice memos with the airpod. make sure that’s not the case by simply making a call or recording a video with the airpod connected.

hopefully the airpod will work fine. if not, you can try to implement the following methods. If you are able to perform the following tricks, I can assure you that the problem will not bother you anymore.

but before applying the fixes, be sure to check the volume settings at least twice. make sure the microphone and media volumes are at the maximum level. If your mobile is in silent mode, make sure you have turned it off. And one last thing, make sure you don’t have any background apps running except snapchat.

I hope you’ve done all that. now, just follow the instructions here and act accordingly.
