AirPods Pro 2 engraving not showing on screen

Hi,


i ordered some new AirPods Pro, the new second generation, and I let them engrave with my name. Apple says, while connecting, or opening the case, it should show a picture of the case, with my name on it. It does not. It only shows a standard case without engraving.


i did delete the AirPods, and connected them again. Worked great, but still no engraving on the screen. Is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong?


Thank you in advance!

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi,


It is fixed for some time now, but only after I contacted Apple about it. They told me to delete the AirPods from my Apple account, in my phone, and then add them again.


First they told me it should work, but my AirPods would not connect like they should, so I felt like I was getting only more trouble. But I told the lady to wait a second, and deleted my AirPods again. After linking them again, it worked like a charm. Since them no problems at all.


So you could try this, and maybe it will work. If not, contact Apple support!


I wish you much luck!

Same with me. I contacted apple support and they seem to not know about their product. Its kinda disappointing because even the “tech manager” does not know about the engraving should show on the iphone screen on its first pairing. He also mentioned about the version sent must be of old firmware however, its hard to update the airpods by itself.

Apple is getting to wrong side of cuustomer support. I have the same issue with my AirPods Pro (Gen 2) where engravings are not showing up on phone. I have visited apple store here in Melbourne multiple times and each time they stalled the issue that it will be fixed with new OS update but it didn't. Today, a very rude apple team member clearly told me that it is not a documeneted feature from apple so apple is not going to do anything.


I always thought apple had the best customer service but not anymore.
