Owners of
AirPods will soon be able to skip forwards and backwards between
Tracks With a simple
Double tap of either earpiece, thanks to an additional setting Apple is providing in iOS 11.
Currently,
AirPods Users can only
Change Tracks from the buds by invoking Siri
With a
Double tap and vocally commanding the virtual assistant to do so, an action some people find cumbersome or simply embarrassing to have to perform in public.
Unfortunately the only available alternative to iOS 10
Users is to take out their iPhone and perform the track
Change manually by tapping the lock screen.
However, as demonstrated by YouTuber
Appsolutely Tech, in iOS 11 it's possible to customize the Bluetooth settings on the
AirPods so that a
Double tap on one earpiece skips to the next track,
With the same action on the other earpiece returning to the previous track.
The Next/Previous track options join the existing settings found on the iOS Bluetooth 'info' screen that let
Users Double tap to activate Siri, play/pause the track, or turn off the AirPods.
(Thanks, Jonathan!)
