Unknown Accessory Detected

I have been getting the Unknown Accessory Detected notification for weeks on end now. After a few days of not knowing or finding any devices near me, i found it was my airpods pro's it was detected. This should be a "known" device as I use them with my phone everyday. I can only pause the notifications for a day until they come back. It is just an annoyance and am wondering if there is a fix to this.

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Hello TimHauck,


Thanks for reaching out using Apple Support Communities!

We understand you're getting an unnecessary notification about your AirPods Pro on your device. 


Are you using the latest iOS version on your iPhone when this happens, or do you have pending updates?

Try to reset your AirPods Pro to see if that helps: How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support


These steps might help get everything back to normal. 

Cheers!
