Airpods not connecting to anything and staying connected.

My airpods say they are connected to my phone and they still are not actually connected. My music is playing through my phone speakers still. Help please? I have tried resetting everything and still nothing.


I really don't want to have to buy new airpods.

Hello,

If they seem to be connected, but won't play, try this:

1) Open the Control Center

2) Long press on the music controls

3) Select the output option (little up-arrow with circles)

4) Select AirPods (if they are not listed, they are not really connected): If your AirPods won't connect

Good luck.
