Controlling AirPods Pro
One of the main things you should know about the new AirPods Pro is the control scheme. In place of the tapping gestures of past AirPods, Apple has went with a new force sensor design.
In a nutshell, the force sensors rely on a squeeze motion on the stem of your AirPod. Here are 5 controls you should know.
- Squeeze once to play, pause or answer a phone call.
- Squeeze twice quickly to skip forward.
- Squeeze three times quickly to skip back.
- Squeeze and hold to switch between Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) and Transparency mode.
- Say Hey Siri to invoke the digital assistant — you can get an Uber, input directions or make a phone call this way.
