iPhone Xs lightning earbud controls not working

I upgraded from a 6s to a Xs recently, so this is my first phone without a headphone jack. The controls on the apple lightning earbuds don't work. I searched for solutions, and found articles from 2016 saying that Apple promises a fix, but nothing else. Is this a known issue? Is this something that is supposed to be working now? I miss being able to control the volume, pause, repeat, and skip songs without touching my phone.
