How can I program my AirPods (3rd gen) when neither left nor right airpod is displayed in my settings?

You can change the settings on your AirPods while they’re connected to your iPhone, such as when you’re wearing them. In Settings, go to Bluetooth, find your AirPods then tap the information icon next to them. For AirPods (3rd generation), you can change what microphone is used to make calls, Optimized Battery Charging, and more, but you can’t change what squeezing them do.

There are no touch sensors on AirPods Pro or AirPods 3.

There is a force sensor that you squeeze.

Change the press-and-hold action on AirPods Pro

AirPods Pro have three noise control modes: Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode, and Off. You can switch among all three noise control modes in Control Center or Settings.

By default, when you press and hold the force sensor on the stem of your left or right AirPod, your AirPods Pro switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode. You can change which noise control modes the press-and-hold action uses:

  1. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
  2. Tap the More Info button  next to your AirPods in the list of devices.
  3. Under Press and Hold AirPods, tap Left or Right, then make sure that Noise Control is selected.
  4. Select the two or three noise control modes that you want to use with press and hold. If both AirPods are set to change noise control modes, a change to the press-and-hold action settings on one AirPod applies to both.

You can also set the press-and-hold action to allow you to use Siri. In the AirPods Pro settings screen, tap Left or Right, then select Siri. You can have one AirPod set for Siri and the other set to change noise control modes.
