How do you squeeze AirPods Pro?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

To squeeze your AirPods Pro, you need to apply pressure to the force sensor located on the stem of each earbud. This force sensor is responsible for controlling various functions of the AirPods Pro, such as noise control modes and activating Siri.

To squeeze the force sensor multiple times, commonly known as a press, you simply press the sensor with a certain amount of force. By default, a double press on the force sensor allows you to skip to the next track, while a triple press takes you to the previous track. However, you can customize this functionality to suit your preferences.

If you wish to change the speed needed to squeeze the force sensor multiple times, you can adjust the Press Speed setting on your iPhone. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Connect your AirPods Pro to your iPhone.
2. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
3. Scroll down and tap on Bluetooth.
4. Locate your AirPods Pro from the list of available devices and tap on the “i” icon next to it.
5. On the next screen, you will find the Press Speed option. Tap on it.
6. You will see three options: Slow, Default, and Fast. Select the option that suits your preference.

On the other hand, if you want to change the duration required to squeeze and hold the force sensor to change noise control modes or activate Siri, you can adjust the Press and Hold Duration setting. Here’s how to do it:

1. Ensure your AirPods Pro are connected to your iPhone.
2. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
3. Scroll down and tap on Bluetooth.
4. Find your AirPods Pro from the list and tap on the “i” icon next to it.
5. Look for the Press and Hold Duration option and tap on it.
6. You will see three options: Short, Default, and Long. Choose the option that suits your preference.

By adjusting these settings, you can personalize the way you interact with your AirPods Pro and make them more convenient for your specific needs.

It’s important to note that personal experiences may vary when it comes to squeezing AirPods Pro, as individual preferences and comfort levels differ. It’s recommended to experiment with different settings and find what works best for you.
