Are you experiencing an issue where your Airpods are connected to your device, but the sound is coming from your iPhone instead of the Airpods? This can be a frustrating problem, especially if you are trying to enjoy your favorite music or take an important phone call.
Check Your AirPods and iPhone Settings
The first thing you should do is check your AirPods and iPhone settings. Make sure that your AirPods are selected as the audio output device on your iPhone. To do this, go to your iPhone’s settings, select Bluetooth, and make sure that your AirPods are connected and selected as the audio output device.
If your AirPods are already selected as the audio output device and you are still experiencing the issue, try resetting your AirPods. To do this, put your AirPods in their case and hold down the button on the back of the case until the LED light on the front starts flashing amber. This will reset your AirPods and hopefully fix the issue.
Check for Interference
Another common reason why your AirPods might be connected but the sound is coming from your iPhone is interference. If you have other Bluetooth devices connected to your iPhone, they may be interfering with your AirPods connection.
Try turning off any other Bluetooth devices that are connected to your iPhone and see if that fixes the issue. You can also try moving your iPhone and AirPods away from any other Bluetooth devices or electronic devices that may be causing interference.
Check for Software Updates
If you are still experiencing the issue, check for any software updates for your AirPods and iPhone. Outdated software can cause a variety of issues, including problems with Bluetooth connectivity.
To check for software updates on your iPhone, go to your iPhone’s settings, select General, and then select Software Update. If there is an update available, download and install it.
