Airpods 3 have no tap functionality.

They have no touch sensor.

They have a force sensor on the stem that you squeeze.



Pause, skip, and adjust volume with your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support

Control audio with your AirPods Pro or AirPods (3rd generation)

To play and pause audio, press the force sensor on the stem of an AirPod. To resume playback, press again.

To skip forward, double-press the force sensor.

To skip back, triple-press the force sensor.

To turn the volume up or down, say "Hey Siri," then say something like "Turn up the volume" or "Turn down the volume." Or drag the volume slider in the app that you're listening to, on the Lock Screen, or in Control Center. You can also open Now Playing on your Apple Watch and turn the Digital Crown to make your AirPods Pro or AirPods (3rd generation) louder or quieter.
