Both my iPhone and iPad are associated with my AppleID. Unlike my 1st generation AirPod Pro, my new 2nd generation will not automatically switch between them. I have to disconnect, reset, and re-install them in order for me to use them on the other device. I Have followed all the support suggestions I can find.
