It appears my new Airpod Pros don't have the ability to allow me to tap on them to answer phone calls and hang up on phone calls. Was this feature removed? What am I missing?
 
Apple says it is possible:

You dont tap them as you did with the Gen 1 & 2's. A single click on the stalk will answer the phone for you.

To quote Apple :-
Use the phone and get messages
When a call comes in while you're wearing either AirPod, Siri can announce the call. To answer with AirPods Pro, press the force sensor. To answer with AirPods (1st or 2nd generation), double-tap an AirPod. Later, you can press the force sensor on an AirPod Pro or double-tap an AirPod to hang up or switch to another call.
Siri can read your incoming messages through your AirPods Pro.

@Bazooka-joe, thanks for answering this. I still like the tap feature better. It seems easier to do than having to actually grab the stalk of the airpod pro and press it. Nevertheless, thanks for answering this.

I thought that at first, but its a quick adjustment. I dont know about you, but I cant even begin to tell you how many times I accidentally ended a call by tapping on the AirPods when I was adjusting their fit in my ear.
