contents Let $n\ge 2$ be an integer and let $p$ be a prime number. We prove that the analog of Gromov's non-squeezing theorem does not hold for $p$-adic embeddings: for any $p$-adic absolute value $R$, the entire $p$-adic space $(\mathbb{Q}_p)^{2n}$ is symplectomorphic to the $p$-adic cylinder $\mathrm{Z}_p^{2n}(R)$ of radius $R$, showing a degree of flexibility which stands in contrast with the real case. However, some rigidity remains: we prove that the $p$-adic affine analog of Gromov's result still holds. We will also show that in the non-linear situation, if the $p$-adic embeddings are equivariant with respect to a torus action, then non-squeezing holds, which generalizes a recent result by Figalli, Palmer and the second author. This allows us to introduce equivariant $p$-adic analytic symplectic capacities, of which the $p$-adic equivariant Gromov width is an example.
