Ipad keeps taking over Airpods

I'm in the middle of listening to a podcast on my iphone with my Airpods.


All of a sudden, I get a notice on my ipad is connected to my Airpods...and my podcast stops. I have done nothing on my iPad that aught to initiate this takeover. I'm in the middle of typing in Notes when this happens.

  • If you want to turn automatic switching off for an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Bluetooth on that device with your AirPods in your ears. Tap the info button  next to your AirPods in the list of devices. Tap Connect to This iPhone [or iPad], and then tap When Last Connected to This iPhone [or iPad]. To turn this feature on again, tap Automatically.
