Automatic device switching for AirPod pro.

I cannot get automatic device switching to work with my AirPods Pro.

I have a iPad Pro 10.5 with iPadOS 14.0.1 installed.  I have a iPhone 6s with iOS 14.0.1 installed.  I have AirPods Pro with version 3A283 installed.

Both the iPad and iPhone are signed into iCloud with the same user name.

I have removed the AirPods Pro from each device.  Reset the AirPods and restarted the devices.  I have tried several sets of instructions from the internet including those on Apple.com, but I still cannot get automatic switching to work.

I have also tried an iPhone 8 Plus with my iPad without success.

Can someone help?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

I had the same problem and was able to solve it by forgetting the AirPods Pro on all my devices, upgrading my Apple ID security settings to two-factor authentication and then repairing the AirPods to each device. If you already have two-factor authentication set, you could try forgetting the AirPods on your devices, signing out of iCloud on each device and then after signing back in to iCloud on all your devices, re-pairing the AirPods. I’m pretty sure at this point that it was an iCloud issue for me as I had already tried everything else recommended by Apple for the auto-switching feature.
