My AirPods won’t show up in Bluetooth

Hi Stephensairpods,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. As I understand it, your AirPods aren’t appearing in the list of My Devices of the Bluetooth section on your iPhone. I’d love to help.

I recommend taking each of these steps: If your AirPods won't connect. Making sure that they’re set up correctly, your iPhone is fully updated, and that your AirPods are fully charged can all help.

Also, try connecting them in multiple locations (i.e. home, work, etc.) to eliminate the possibility of Bluetooth interference. Check this out to learn more: Resolve Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues caused by wireless interference

If the issue persists, these additional steps may help: If you can't connect a Bluetooth accessory to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

I hope this helps to get you started! Kind regards.
