Apple Airpods Pro double/triple tap+HOLD features are gone? (rewind/fast forward songs)
I used to own the original AirPods Pro and shortly after I bought them, I read somewhere that there was a hidden feature for them that not many people were aware of. While most people knew that by tapping the AirPods twice, it skips forward to the next song in the queue, they didn't know that if you tap twice, but then HOLD (long press on the 2nd tap), you skip the song you're currently listening to forward, as in, it starts going faster (like at 2x speed, similar to what holding down on a TikTok video does - if say, you wanted to skip a verse or wanted to go to the chorus faster. I was so surprised when I tried this and saw it actually worked.
The same is true with a triple tap. If you triple tap your AirPods it sends you to the previous song. But if you triple tap and HOLD, it will make the current song play backwards at 2x speed. It will, in other words, rewind the song.
After I recently bought my Airpods Pro 2nd Generation, I have noticed that this feature no longer exists. Double tapping and holding does nothing, it simply changes the mode from Transparency to Noise Cancellation.
Does anyone know what happened to this feature?
