You can lowkey eavesdrop on people’s conversations with this AirPod feature

IMAGINE the goss...

Let's just start by saying that eavesdropping on other people's conversations is probably a bit morally dubious but lads Fred and George did it with their "Extendable Ears" in Harry Potter so we thought we had to inform you about the muggle version. The internet is going wild over the idea that you can now listen into other people's conversations by selecting a certain feature. Live Listen was originally intended to help those who are hard of hearing, but now people are using it for a slightly different purpose. 

Airpod users.... I just learned about live listening ? If you turn it on & leave your phone in another room you can hear everything!! pic.twitter.com/PbrL3Xz5ZZ

If you are using the latest operating system, then all you need to do is set up Live Listen in your settings before turning the volume up on the phone's microphone. Live Listen enables you to leave your phone in different locations and listen to everything happening around it using your AirPods and apparently it also works if you have an iWatch!  The feature supposedly works up to 15m away as well as through walls. Do with this information what you will...
