Unable to answer incoming call with AirPod Pro

Why is it when I attempt to answer an incoming call using the force sensor on my AirPod Pro, the audio/call transfers to my iPhone XR and is no longer on the AirPods.

Airpods Pro 2 Connectivity Issues During Calls Devices: Airpods Pro Gen 2 iPhone XS ios : 16.1.1 Airpods pro gen 2 firmware: 5B58 My new airpods pro gen 2 do not work during incoming calls while it is clearly connected to my iPhone. Phone rings, i put my airpods on, it says ‘airpods connected’ on the screen, i answer but no sound. Also, caller cant hear me either. Same when i’m already using my airpods (listening to music), phone rings, i answer but nothing. Volume is up, sound output set to airpods, i confirm that airpods are connected but no sound. Mic not working too. For some reason it works when i am the one making the call. Also, couple of times it lost connection to my iPhone while listening to music. Tried resetting airpods connection(hard reset), restarting phone, resetting network settings on iPhone. Pretty much everything. Now what?

I’m using the correct procedure but about half the time it switches audio to the phone which leaves the caller hanging if my phone is in another room.
