  • Let's go over some simple music controls

  • on AirPods and AirPods Pro.

  • Almost all of your AirPod Pro's basic controls are based

  • around the force sensor, a small touch pad

  • built into the stem.

  • To use the force sensor,

  • you need to lightly squeeze the stem.

  • Squeeze the stem once to play or pause

  • whatever's currently playing.

  • Also, if you're receiving a call,

  • squeezing once will answer it.

  • Squeeze the stem twice to skip forward to the next song.

  • If the app you're using doesn't support this,

  • squeezing twice won't do anything.

  • And if you're receiving a call,

  • squeezing twice will reject it

  • and send the caller to voicemail.

  • Squeeze the stem three times to skip backwards, either

  • to the beginning of the current song or to the last one.

  • If the app you're listening to doesn't support this,

  • squeezing three times won't do anything.

  • AirPods have a double-tap touch control

  • built into them and can be customized to skip a song,

  • move back to the last song, or play and pause your music.

  • To customize this, put your AirPods on.

  • Open the Settings app, then choose "Bluetooth."

  • Then click the i next to your AirPods.

  • Under the "Double-Tap on AirPod" section,

  • choose which AirPod, left or right,

  • that you want to customize.

  • Then choose between "Play/Pause,"

  • "Next Track," or "Previous Track."
