How this headset buttonTweaking trick Works:-

• The working is very simple when you install any app from the below list then the app will allow the user to set or configure the task for the button and next time when you will press the button the smartphone will perform that task.For example, I configured an ” App Launch ” task for the single click of the headset button so when I will press the button once the desired app will be launched automatically.
• You can also configure multiple tasks by configuring the tasks on the number of headset button press.For example:
  • Single press: play / pause (+ answer call / end call)

  • Triple press: previous track
  • Quadruple press: previous track
  • Long press: Volume control
