Hey there Mahanu,


We'd like to help get that swipe control for adjusting the volume working as expected, and we have a few things to rule out for you:


  1. Have you already tested your AirPods while paired with a different device, and if yes, did the same issue occur?
  2. Which AirPods model are you using as the swipe gesture for controlling the volume only works with specific models? Here's a link with more details: Pause, skip, and adjust volume with your AirPods and AirPods Pro
  3. If the swipe gesture has worked in the past, when did this start?


Cheers!

Hi Bruno75 , obviously I’ m using The New AirPods Pro 2 , also I mentioned that the new AirPods …cause only that has the swipe feature..anyways after multiple check on internet for answer on what to do couldn’t understand what was the issue, later I updated my phone and found out that now we have volume swipe option which was turned off by default ..we didn’t have this option before Apple released the update and also once I updated then ,only I was able to see that volume swipe option check bar , I think even before the software download the volume swipe option was turned off by default even before we could see the check bar and couldn’t understood that it was off . Now the issue is sorted . And here’s the answer for all of the people who are struggling with the same issue …please update uah phone to the recent ios 16.1.1 update and check the accessibility for the AirPods.
