Hi folk,
I came across a mini-tutorial on using controls and gestures with the
Airpods.
The extracts below are for the Airpods 4.
I post this here as a response to a recent query to the group on head
gestures in particulatr.
Link to full Airpods at the end of this mail.
Use controls and gestures with your AirPods
In addition to controlling audio from the apps you use with your
AirPods, you can use controls directly on your AirPods to do things like
pause and resume playback, skip tracks, answer calls, and use Siri.
If you have AirPods Pro 2 or AirPods 4 (both models), and you have
Announce Calls and Announce Notifications turned on, you can also use
head gestures to accept or decline calls and open or dismiss
notifications without using your voice or hands.
Adjust controls and gestures for AirPods
Wear your AirPods, then do any of the following:
iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings , then tap the name of your AirPods near
the top of the screen.
With the force sensor on the stem of AirPods 4 (both models), you can do
any of the following:
The location of the force sensor on AirPods 4, along the stem of each of
your AirPods.
Play and pause audio: Press the stem. To resume playback, press it again.
Play the next track: Double-press the stem.
Play the previous track: Triple-press the stem.
Answer a call: When you receive a call, press the stem.

AirPods to perform this action when you press and hold the stem. See
