Make Pause Button on Headphones Work

While it is great to pocket your phone and just listen to the tour, I wish I could pause and resume a tour using my headphone controls instead of having to get my phone out every time.

Every so often, there is a distraction coming my way, so I would like to hit pause, but by the time I have my phone out, I missed too much of the audio so I have to rewind as well.

Would it be possible to implement this simple yet helpful functionality?

A little, but not overly, more complicated: “smart resume”: when you resume a paused tour, rewind a little, based on the duration of the interruption, e. g. rewind 5s after a pause of less than 1m, rewind 30s after a pause of less than 10m, … This would help getting your head back into the story.

Thanks for the feedback @kian.vm. Can you let us know what device you’re using please? This does work in iOS, without the smart rewind. (I like that idea.) We’ll need to test it on Android.

Hi @iain, I am using an Android phone running Android 15.
The feature might actually have been there in a previous version, but I am not entirely sure.
