AirPods won’t connect

AirPods issue - after my last upgrade to my iPad and iPhone, my AirPods won’t connect after I’ve got off or shut down my phone or iPad. They used to be able to switch from phone to phone or phone to iPad. After I reconnected them last only one time and they will not connect anymore. I have to forget the device and reconnect them and then again just one time. Anybody else having this problem?

SauceTX,


Thanks for those additional details.


If your AirPods are disconnecting once paired to your device and attempting to use them, test to see if the issue persists with another Bluetooth accessory.


Also, head to Settings > Bluetooth on your devices, and toggle this off and back on.


Should the issue persist, restart both devices, and test again.


Thanks!
