Samsung’s wireless earbuds come with a touchpad and support various touch gestures, including a touch and hold gesture that can be assigned to launching apps like Spotify and Bixby or performing actions such as increasing and decreasing the volume
But did you know that the touch and hold gesture cannot be used to launch the Samsung Music app? You would expect a music app made by Samsung would be fully supported by the company’s wireless earbuds, but that isn’t the case for the Samsung Music app.
At long last, Samsung is fixing that oversight. An update to Samsung Music finally adds the option to fire up the app by touching and holding the touchpad on Galaxy Buds earbuds when they’re connected to a phone or tablet.
Why wasn’t this functionality already available? Well, only Samsung can answer that question. We’re assuming that Samsung didn’t think its music app was used widely enough to warrant proper support. After all, the world has moved almost entirely to apps that can stream music off the internet, something Samsung’s Music app cannot do (it does have Spotify integration, but Samsung doesn’t have a streaming service of its own).
