Interesting, due to your comment, I revisited the Pixel Buds app and found out that the Multipoint menu that was previously available was no longer available. The only explanation I can give is that I had recently changed my Google account on GOS from my personal account to an anonymous account that I had created to download apps from the Play Store without tying my GOS device to my personal account.
After this, I noticed several changes:
- The buds don't connect to my GOS phone automatically as it did before
- The Multipoint menu is no longer available
- The three icons at the top showing left/right earbuds and the case show a blank circle instead of a picture of the earbuds/case
It seems that to fully use all functions of the buds, the following conditions all need to be met:
- First set up the buds with a Google account on stock
- On GOS, sign in to the same Google account used to set up the buds on stock
- Keep GOS signed in to the same Google account
I reset my Pixel Buds Pro to factory settings following the official instructions, and further found that I was no longer able to pair the buds to my phone from the Pixel Buds screen & notifications, and I had to activate pairing mode, then add it in the Bluetooth menu of the phone settings. I'm quite certain this was possible when I had signed in to my personal Google account on GOS when pairing with my buds that had been first set up on stock.
Of note, when previously setting it up on GOS, the {NAME}'s Pixel Buds Pro name I had given the buds while on stock was remembered, but now it gets set up as simply Pixel Buds Pro.
The blank icons are a bit of an eyesore when on the Pixel Buds app, but the battery percentages seem to update fine, and besides the multipoint function not working anymore, the buds seem to function fine.
In conclusion,
i can't find anyway to turn it off.
Factory reset the buds following the instructions linked above, and re-link it with the BT settings. That should remove the Multipoint setting from the app, and I assume it would also disable the setting toggle itself.
