Recognize sounds using iPad

Your iPad can continuously listen for certain sounds—such as a crying baby, doorbell, or siren—and notify you when it recognizes these sounds.

Note: Don’t rely on your iPad to recognize sounds in circumstances where you may be harmed or injured, in high-risk or emergency situations, or for navigation.

Set up Sound Recognition

  1. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Sound Recognition, then turn on Sound Recognition.

  2. Tap Sounds, then turn on the sounds you want iPad to recognize.

Tip: To quickly turn Sound Recognition on or off, use Control Center.
