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.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\nHowever, as demonstrated by YouTuber Appsolutely Tech<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
