Turn force sensors in AirPod Pro off

How can I turn the AirPod Pro force sensors off, so every time I touch the AirPods I don’t start/stop/change what I’m listening to?

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6

Currently it seems you can only customize what each side's force sensor does between either a choice of changing between Noise control and Siri. There is no option to disable the normal pause/play, next track, previous track options.


The only options that exist will appear when your AirPods are connected and you go to Settings > Bluetooth > (Tap the blue i with a circle around it next to your AirPods) and you will see only two options in the middle for Left and Right.


Unfortunately, they aren't the options you specifically want but that's currently all that is available in the current version of iOS.
