Skip by double-tapping the cover

How it works

• Left half — back by the “Back” interval, right half — forward by the “Forward” interval.
• A hint like “−15 s” shows for less than a second.
• Only on the cover in the open player: the mini player and the Lock Screen have no such gesture.
• With VoiceOver the gesture is hidden: skip with the buttons on either side of the play button.

When to turn it off

If you touch the cover by accident. The skip buttons on either side of the play button work without this row too.

Tip

With a short “Back” interval, 5–10 seconds, a double tap is a handy way to replay a phrase without aiming for a button.
