AirPods pro 2 dont automatic switch to mac

My setup:

iPhone 14 Pro Max, AirPods pro 2, MacBook pro 16" 2019 (intel i9..)

i tried to:

reset the AirPods pro 2, signed out and back in into iCloud on all devices, (i'm logged in with the same apple id)

i have tried everything but my new AirPods pro 2 wont automatic switch from iPhone to mac

it switches perfectly between iPhones and iPad, like the AirPods pro 1 (they don't automatic switch too)

never been this disappointed in an Apple product like the AirPods pros

please help, its really annoying to have to press connect 700 times a day

AirPods Pro (2nd generation)

Hi abed162,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.

Re: AirPods pro 2 dont automatic switch to mac

Wondering which MacOS is installed, you may need the newest available with AirPods

ie: for compatibility with the AirPods firmware.

or

You might want to check that you are only connecting AirPods to one device

at a time. (Eg may not be switching between multiple devices.)

See if turn off / turn on bluetooth helps

or

How to: Switch your AirPods to another device – Apple Support. has tips.

All the best :-)

Thanks for the reply,

I have the latest macOS installed, and here is how i initiate the connection

i connect them to the Mac then play something on the iPhone, and they switch automatically to the iPhone and a notification pops up on the Mac to connect manually (which indicate that the automatic switching isn’t working)

i have checked all the settings.

i tried this between the iPhone and the iPad, they switch flawlessly (with the notification to “return to iPhone with a blue back button)
