AirPods Pro update adds head-nodding gesture to silently respond to Siri
Voice isolation should also improve call quality in noisy places.
Apple unveiled a new feature for AirPods Pro at WWDC 2024 that will change how you interact with Siri. Users will soon be able to respond to Siri's requests with simple head gestures: a nod for "yes" and a head shake for "no."
This hands-free interaction is designed for situations where speaking out loud may not be ideal, such as crowded environments or private settings. In a demonstration video, Apple showcased a man in a packed elevator using a head shake to decline an incoming call from his grandmother through Siri.
This update adds another layer of convenience and accessibility to AirPods Pro, making them an even more versatile and user-friendly accessory. With this new feature, users can discreetly control Siri without uttering a word, further integrating the virtual assistant into their daily lives.
