[Air Pods] Problem with Calls / IOS14

Since yesterday I´m having problems when calling someone.


During the call the audio automatically switches from iPhone to Air Pods even though they are in my pocket. This is really annoying.

Is there any way of changing this?


Thank you in advance!

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

If the AirPods are in your pocket and in the case then the calls should not be transferred to them.

I recommend that you remove the AirPods from the Bluetooth list of devices by opening Settings ➔ Bluetooth ➔ Locate the AirPods in the list and tap on the "i" to the right: Then select Forget this Device.

After that Reset the AirPods as shown below and then pair them again to the iPhone-


Reset your AirPods


Put your AirPods in their case

Close the lid. Wait 30 seconds, then open the lid.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings

Go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap the "i" icon next to your AirPods.2 Then tap Forget This Device, and tap again to confirm.

Reset your AirPods

With the lid open, press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for about 15 seconds, until you see the status light flashing amber.

Reconnect your AirPods

With the lid open, place your AirPods close to your device. Follow the steps on your device's screen.
