One of the significant updates is the addition of head gestures, offering a new form of control for the AirPods Pro. Users will be able to nod their heads up and down or shake them back and forth to interact with Siri or manage calls without using voice commands or hands. For instance, shaking your head can decline a call, while nodding can accept it. Similarly, these gestures can be used to respond to Siri, making it easier to control notifications and messages.
