- A new gesture control for muting and unmuting during calls is expected to be added to Google’s Pixel Bluetooth earphone series, “Pixel Buds.”
- By analyzing the app files of the Android “Google Pixel Buds” app version v1.0.981607934 update, we confirmed the addition of resource codes related to a new gesture control called “Mute control”—which allows users to mute or unmute the microphone by single-tapping the earphone during calls while wearing the “Pixel Buds” series—as well as an animation introducing the operation, likely for the settings screen.
- This feature appears to work with the “Google Phone” app or “Google Meet” app on Google Pixel devices.
The Google Pixel Bluetooth earphone series, “Pixel Buds,” currently supports various gesture controls: a single tap to play/pause media or answer a call, a double tap to skip tracks or end a call, a triple tap to return to the previous track, a press-and-hold to invoke “Gemini” (Google Assistant) or switch noise control, a swipe forward to increase volume, and a swipe backward to decrease volume.
However, it appears that new gesture controls, such as muting and unmuting calls, will be added. We bring you the details in our original app file analysis report content, “App Analysis,” here on our site, “Jetstream.”

As a result of analyzing the app files from the Android “Google Pixel Buds” app version v1.0.981607934 update released around Wednesday, September 23, 2026, we confirmed the addition of resource codes for a new gesture control called “Mute control”—which lets users mute or unmute the microphone with a single tap on either earphone during calls while wearing the “Pixel Buds” series—along with what appears to be an animation demonstrating the operation in the settings screen. At this time, the actual rollout of the “Pixel Buds” series’ new “Mute control” gesture feature has not yet been confirmed.
