AirPods glitch

Hey there, so whenever I’m doing anything on my iPad with my AirPods connected, like watch YouTube or play a game, and respond to a text message on Snapchat, the AirPods automatically switch to my phone for the send music on Snapchat, which I obviously don’t want it to do. Is there a way to stop this?

This is a feature on Apple devices that switches your AirPods audio between your devices. You can turn this off by going to Settings > Bluetooth > Connect to This iPhone > Then select 'When Last Connected to This iPhone'.

Note: These settings can only be changed when your AirPods are connected to your device.
