Hey @MiloszM,

It's not possible to double-tap or triple-tap on AirPods Pro in general. AirPods Pro only supports press and hold commands. More information can be found here.

With Siri's support on Spotify with your Apple AirPods Pro, you can use simple commands like "Hey Siri, play Spotify", "Hey Siri, play my Discover Weekly on Spotify" or "Hey Siri, play top hits on Spotify".

You can even control the music by saying "Hey Siri, next song" or "Hey Siri, stop". You can even say "Hey Siri, repeat this song" to put the track you are listening to on repeat, or "Hey Siri, cancel repeat" to turn it off.

Hope this helps!

This is not true. I have AirPods Pro. Double tap to go to the next song, triple tap will go back to the previous song.

It’s 2026 and this issue still hasn’t been resolved. When I’m using AirPods Pro 2 and listening to a podcast or music, the left-side button doesn’t go backward. Both sides always skip forward, either advancing the episode or switching to the next track.
