Shortcut keys using Apple Headphone
This is a beginners guide on using Apple headphone with iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Many of you who have been already using your headphone with your Apple device might already be knowing many or most of these functions. However, I’ll try to include all possible functions of the headphone for the benefit of those who don’t know it.
Your Apple headphone comes with three buttons. Volume up (+), volume down (-) and centre button between + and – buttons. Now here are things that you can do with these buttons:
1. Activate Siri: If you are using an iPhone 4S, pressing and holding the centre button will activate Siri.
2. Take a photo: Launch the Camera app and press the volume-up (+) button on the headphone to take a photo. This feature will not work with iOS 4.3.5 and below versions.
3. Pause/Play a Song or Video: You can pause or play a song or video by pressing the center button.
4. Skip to the Next Song or Chapter: To skip the next song or chapter, press the center button twice quickly.
5. Go to Previous Song or Chapter: To go back to the previous song, press the center button thrice quickly.
By the way, do you have the latest Apple headphone for iPhone 5S, 5C or 5? While we are on to the 6th shortcut key, why not pick up one online from Amazon.com
And here is the 6th key, if you already own the beauty :). Let’s move on..
6. Fast Forward a Song: To fast forward a song, press the center button twice and hold the center button on the second press.
7. Rewind a Song: To rewind a song, press the center button thrice and hold the center down on the third press.
8. Answer a Call or Hang up: If you get a call, press the center button to answer it and press it again to hang up.
9. Decline Incoming Call: To decline an incoming call, press the center button and hold for approximately two seconds. You should hear two beeps, which confirms that the caller was sent to voicemail.
10. Switch Calls: If you get a new call when you’re on the phone, press the center button once to switch calls. To end that new call, press and hold the center button down for 2 seconds.
Please note that these tricks should work with any headphones that include a remote or have a remote adapter.
