Hi Lakshay7,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.


Are both the iPhone and Mac signed in with the same Apple ID? This would be a requirement. You can also double-check the steps here: Switch AirPods between Apple devices.


If you have met the requirements and the issue continues, try resetting the AirPods: How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro.


"You might need to reset your AirPods if they won't charge, or to fix a different issue.


  1. Put your AirPods in their charging case, and close the lid.
  2. Wait 30 seconds.
  3. Open the lid of your charging case, and put your AirPods in your ears.
  4. Go to Settings > Bluetooth. Or go to Settings > [your AirPods].
    • If your AirPods appear there as connected, tap the More Info button  next to your AirPods, tap Forget This Device, then tap again to confirm.
    • If your AirPods don't appear there, continue to the next step. 

5.Put your AirPods in their charging case, and keep the lid open. 

6.Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for about 15 seconds, until the status light on the front of the case flashes amber, then white.*

7.Reconnect your AirPods: With your AirPods in their charging case and the lid open, place your AirPods close to your iPhone or iPad. Follow the steps on your device's screen."


If the issue remains after trying this, please contact Apple Support.


Have a fantastic day!
