Bluetooth pairing is not a foolproof concept. There will be times when that connection gets severed, such as when there’s too great of a distance between devices. However, sometimes that connection shorts out for seemingly no reason at all, just a blip in the waves that causes the two devices to separate from one another. When it comes to AirPods, there is something of a soft reset that you can do to try and get your headphones connected to your iPhone once again.
- Take the AirPods out of your ears and place them back in their charging case.
- Close the case and wait a beat.
- Take the AirPods back out and put them back in your ear.
Just doing this simple little reset may reestablish that Bluetooth connection that, for some reason or another, was interrupted. It gives the AirPods a fresh chance to pair once again. However, if this doesn’t work, the Bluetooth issue could be from your iPhone and not the AirPods. If that is the case, follow these steps:
- Swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPhone to display the Control Center.
- Turn off the Bluetooth capability, which is indicated by the two triangles stacked on top of each other in the bottom-right of the first square of options.
- Wait a beat and reactivate the Bluetooth.
Doing either of these options gives Bluetooth a little jump start and may be able to fix your connectivity issues.
