If I am listening to music on my Phone Apple music and I go on my Mac to play a Youtube video, I have to MANUALLY switch the audio.
Can someone help🙏?
Good afternoon chris0407,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your AirPods Pro are not automatically switching between your iPhone and your Mac. We're happy to look into this with you.
Which iPhone model do you have?
You mentioned the update to iOS 14.5 on your iPhone. Did you update to macOS 11.3 on your computer as well?
Always restart devices after updating software.
On your iPhone, try unpairing your AirPods Pro, changing your settings back to defaults, and restarting your device.
Then pair the AirPods Pro and change the Bluetooth settings to your desired preference:

Hi chris0407,
Thanks for that information. It sounds like the "AirPod Nearby" notification that you are seeing on your Mac means that automatic switching is enabled. When you hover over the notification with your mouse, you should should see a Connect button. Click Connect to confirm that you want your AirPods to switch to the MacBook Pro.
Connect your AirPods with your Mac
"If your AirPods are connected with your iPhone
If you already connected your AirPods with your iPhone, they’re ready to use with your Mac (your Mac must support Handoff and you must be signed in to iCloud using the same Apple ID).
in the menu bar on your Mac, then choose AirPods."Take care.
I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max -
I have just Unpair the Airpod pro and done the setup process on my iPhone but the issue still persists.
When playing music on my iphone - I get to my mac to play a Youtube video but the sound comes from the Speakers not the Airpods
That's great thank you but this means that I have to manually switch it (its not automatic then if I have to Click the Volume control and choose the Airpods -
I thought that If I listen to music on my phone with Airpods pro and I go on my Mac it should automatically switch the audio without
Isn't correct?
The mac is a 16 inch 11.3 updated
When I get to my Mac I have the Notification "Airpod Neadby" but not automatically switching even if set on both devices.
I have just reset AirPods as well but same issue persists
My AirPods Pro don't automatically switch (even after update)
