Airpods Autoswitching Not Working

iPhone 14 Pro Max

MacBook Air 2023 (M2)

Airpods Pro 2


Every device's software is up to date, however, auto-switching is not working as expected. Airpods automatically switch from MacBook to iPhone, but they won't switch back. I've tried troubleshooting by resetting my Airpods, forgetting the device, etc., but nothing has helped. How would I resolve this issue?

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 13.5

Hi dimakalynych,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. Using the following from Switch your AirPods to another device - Apple Support, make sure that Automatically is enabled which should turn this feature back on.


"On your Mac

  1. With your AirPods in your ears and connected to your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Bluetooth.
  2. Click the Options button next to your AirPods in the list of devices.
  3. From the Connect to This Mac menu, choose When Last Connected to This Mac.
  4. To turn this feature on again, choose Automatically."


Take care.
