What is the touch control on Galaxy Buds Live?
As explained in the layout of Galaxy Buds Live, there is a touch-responsive area (i.e., touch panel) on each bud.
You can use different gestures in this area to control the media, answer or reject calls, and adjust settings for Galaxy Buds Live.
The location of the touch panel is around the top microphone, as illustrated in the picture below.
