Why doesn’t the set up menu for the AirPods work? I’ve got them today and I’ve been trying to do the set up menu but it never works. I’ve looked through different sites to help but none of them work. It also doesn’t show up for Bluetooth connections, and I’ve charged them to see if the problem works. What do I do?
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15

Troubleshooting iPhone Bluetooth:
Start Here: If you can't Connect a Bluetooth Accessory to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
No Success?
Try the Following:
A. Restarting the iPhone:
If any changes were made (i.e. Installed Apps), then Settings (i.e Wf-Fi), may have become manipulated technically. So, try restarting the iPhone:
B. Disable, then Enable Bluetooth:
In Settings, try disabling Bluetooth, and then reenabling Bluetooth, seeing if that makes all the difference.
C. Try manually restarting your iPhone:
D. Reset All Network Settings to Default:
Example of items that will be reset: (Wi-Fi Passwords, VPN Connections, etc)
As a Last Resort:
E. Restore form a Backup:
Have a backup of your iPhone? If you are not concerned with losing data, then restore your iPhone from a backup that was made when Wi-Fi was working. Prior to restoring, backup your iPhone, incase anything goes wrong with the restoration.
