How to use Head gestures on the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 series
When the Head gestures feature is enabled, you can accept or reject calls by moving your head up and down or side to side. You can also interact with Bixby without speaking, allowing for more convenient hands-free control. When the feature is turned on from the connected Galaxy device, the earbuds recognise head movements to control calls.
Note: The Head gestures feature is available only on Galaxy devices running One UI 8.5 or later. Some features may not be supported depending on the device model and software version.
How to turn on Head gestures
The Head gestures feature can be enabled in the Settings of the connected Galaxy device. Once activated, head movements are automatically detected when an incoming call is received. Follow the steps below to activate the feature.
Step 1. On the connected Galaxy device, tap Settings.
Step 2. Tap the name of the earbuds connected to your device.
Step 3. Tap the Head gestures switch to turn on the feature. Once setup is complete, incoming calls can be controlled through recognised head movements.
Step 4. You can also customise the settings for Yes or accept and No or decline.
Using Head gestures during calls
After enabling the Head gestures feature, it operates automatically when a call is received. You can control calls with head movements without touching the earbuds.
Nod your head up and down to accept an incoming call
Shake your head side to side to reject an incoming call
Note:
- Make sure the earbuds are worn properly and move your head clearly for accurate recognition. Movements that are too slight or incomplete may not be detected.
- You can answer or reject a call using Head gestures only within 20 seconds of receiving the call. After 20 seconds, the feature will no longer operate.
- The command controls based on head movements can be changed in Settings.

If the feature does not function properly, first check the settings and connection status. Recognition may vary depending on the software version and how the earbuds are worn. Review the following items in order:
- Check whether the Head gestures feature is turned on in the Galaxy Buds4 settings.
- Make sure the Galaxy Buds4 software is updated to the latest version.
- Re-wear the earbuds and confirm that wear detection is functioning properly.
