discovered_ _several new features in the latest beta version of the Google app, suggesting the introduction of new double and triple tap gesture controls. New methods for manually turning
off the Pixel Buds is reportedly in the works. The first concerns triple tapping the right earbud, while another involves taking the right earbud off. At current, the only way to turn off
the Pixel Buds is by returning them back to the charging case. It’s likely new manual controls for switching off the earbuds will extend battery life. Other new gesture controls include
double tapping the right earbud, to skip tracks whilst listening to music. At current, the gesture prompts Google Assistant to list several features consumers can use, or pauses Assistant
mid-speech. About Post Author Roma Christian CONTRIBUTOR (Award-nominated technology writer)
