Am sure most people use the headphone that came with their iPhone but only utilize the buttons when making call (i.e. to receive and end call) or increase/decrease the volume when listening to music not knowing that there is more to it than just that.

I'll be sharing some examples you can use with the 3 buttons to fully maximize the power the comes with the headphone without taking your iDevice out of your pocket and thanks to tekserve for this tips.

1) Answer and End Phone Calls

When receiving an incoming phone call, press the Center Button once to accept the call. Press the Center Button again to end the call.

2) Fast-forward/Rewind

To fast-forward through the current track, press the Center Button twice and hold the second press. To rewind, press the Center Button three times and hold on the third press. Release the Center Button to resume playing.

3) Skip to the Next Song or Chapter

You can skip to the next song or chapter by pressing the Center Button twice quickly. This makes it easy to navigate through playlists and albums.

4) Play/Pause a Song or Video

The default function of the Center Button is to play or pause your music and videos. Simply press the Center Button once to Play/Pause your current audio.

5) Snap a Picture

Take a picture from within the Camera app by pressing the Volume Up (+) button. Unfortunately, this feature only works with Apple’s Camera app, not third-party apps like Camera+, Facebook Camera, or Instagram.

6) Activate Siri

iPhone 4S users can interact with their intelligent personal assistant without ever having to touch their phone. Press and hold the Center Button to engage Siri.

7) Decline Phone Calls

You can ignore an incoming phone call by holding down the Center Button for roughly two seconds. After you release the button, two beeps will let you know the call has been successfully declined.

8) Phone Calls

Press the Center Button once to switch between current and incoming/on-hold calls. You can also end your current call while switching to another call by holding down the Center Button for two seconds. Two beeps after the release of the button will let you know the first call has ended.
