Airpods pause automatically when you come near the iPhone (listening to music with Apple Watch in the gym)
I work out exclusively with my Apple Watch while exercising and listen to music through it.
I keep my iPhone in a locker.
That works so far, but whenever I get close to the iPhone, the music pauses and I have to restart the playback myself.
This is especially annoying when you are exactly at a distance from the iPhone where it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. The music pauses every time.
Is there a way to have the AirPods stay connected to the Apple Watch only and ignore the iPhone (other than turning off Bluetooth)?
Surely that can't be a desired behavior?
Thanks in advance.
