AirPods

Lately an issue keeps happening. I put my airpods in my ears and I even hear the connected sound but when I play music it comes from the phone. It doesn't show headphone icon at the top of the screen either. It doesn't show the AirPods in the list of audio options to select. If I reconnect my AirPods from the Bluetooth settings menu I can get the AirPods to show up in the audio selection list but even when I select them, and it shows they're selected, audio still comes from phone. Quit Spotify and reopen - same problem. It happens with every app. I have reset the AirPods and phone and it just won’t work.

Only solution is to reboot my phone each time. Very annoying! Very disappointed...
