With the Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro, you can control your music, your phone calls, and a number of other features by using the Pinch Control. Also, should any issues arise, there are several simple methods to troubleshoot the complications.

Press the pinch area until you hear a clicking sound.
- Single pinch: Play/pause song, Answer/end call, Stop using the “Read notifications aloud” feature, Stop using “Voice detection” or “Siren detection” feature
- Double pinch: Play next song
- Triple pinch: Play the previous song (If you pinch the earbuds three times after 3 seconds after music starts playing, the currently playing music will play from the beginning)
- Pinch and hold: Turn on preset function (default: noise control mode), reject call
