AirPods keep disconnecting from iPhone

It seems like my airpods keep getting disconnected started a couple of days ago… so everytime when I put airpods back to the charger, I have to re-connect(by holding down the back button etc.)

My iphone keeps saying this is not my airpods.. this is really irritable. How could I fix this?

It is absolutely irritating! I have been having issues for multiple days now and I have reset multiple times to no avail. It is affecting my productivity

You might need to reset your AirPods:


  1. Put your AirPods in their charging case, and close the lid.
  2. Wait 30 seconds.
  3. Open the lid of your charging case.
  4. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap the More Info button  next to your AirPods. (If you don't see your AirPods in Settings > Bluetooth, just go to the next step.)
  5. Tap Forget This Device, and tap again to confirm.
  6. With the lid open, press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for about 15 seconds, until the status light flashes amber, then white.*
  7. Reconnect your AirPods: With your AirPods in their charging case and the lid open, place your AirPods close to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Follow the steps on your device's screen.

Agreed!


I brought these bad boys to Apple for assessment. There was no software or hardware issues so to speak. The technician said, unless there is something else going on that their program cannot detect… my airpods are intact.

But his recommendation worked and you should try too!

go to Setting and reset your network settings. You need to reconnect to the wifi with password already input for the automatic connection but this fixed my issue and now I can use mine like before!!!
