AirPods Pro Apple Watch connection problem

Good day guys. Before that, when I put my AirPods Pro in my ear, both my iPhone and Apple Watch were automatically connected. Now it doesn't auto connect. Both devices have the latest iOS version installed.

We’re glad you had the opportunity to complete those steps eminmv. 


With having completed the steps in the previously linked article, and automatically connecting is supposed to occur. The next step would be to update watchOS and iOS on your devices. You can find the steps for updating in the following articles. 


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Update your Apple Watch


If you continue to have issues after those steps you would then want to contact Apple. You can find their contact details online via the Get Support website. 


Have a wonderful week!

Hello barberlives123,



I did exactly what is in the link below and the problem still persists. I don't have any connection issues with the iPhone. When I plug in the earphones, it automatically connects with the iPhone, but not with the Apple Watch. To connect, I must enter Settings-Bluetooth and connect it manually. I have to touch AirPods to connect as seen in the picture.
