Abstract

A method for switching a master earphone, a mobile terminal, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided in implementations of the present disclosure. The method includes the following. When a mobile terminal is in a calling status, whether a condition for switching a master earphone is met is detected. When the condition is met, at least one silent time window is predicted based on voice call data. Within a first silent time window, the communication connection between the mobile terminal and a first earphone is disconnected, and a communication connection between the mobile terminal and a second earphone is established, where the first silent time window is any one of the at least one silent time window.
