Airpods not connecting after clicking on "Forget this device"

I cannot connect the airpods to my phone after clicking on "Forget this device". The airpods are not being detected on my phone or any other device. How can I fix this?

Hi srishti289,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you've tried some great troubleshooting steps and are working through the linked article, How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support. Right?


Try the steps in If your AirPods won't connect - Apple Support which should help you get reconnected. If the same continues, test with another device if possible. That will help isolate where the issue occurs.


"If you can't connect to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Make sure that you have an iPhone or iPod touch with the latest version of iOS, or an iPad with the latest version of iPadOS.
  2. Put both AirPods in the charging case and make sure that both AirPods are charging.
  3. To make sure that Bluetooth is on, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
  4. If your AirPods are connected, make sure that they're selected as your audio device. If your AirPods appear in the list of devices but they don't connect, go to the next step.
  5. Close the lid, wait 15 seconds, then open the lid. Press and hold the setup button on the charging case for up to 10 seconds. The status light should flash white, which means that your AirPods are ready to connect.AirPods charging cases
  6. Hold the charging case, with your AirPods inside and the lid open, next to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
  7. Follow the steps on the screen of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
  8. Test your AirPods. If you still can't connect, reset your AirPods."


Take care.
