Try these steps to stop your AirPods from repeatedly connecting and disconnecting from your iPad:


  1. Forget and reconnect: Go to Settings -> Bluetooth, tap the (i) icon next to your AirPods, select Forget This Device, then pair them again.
  2. Charge your AirPods and case and make sure both AirPods are seated properly.
  3. Update your iPadOS under Settings -> General -> Software Update.
  4. If they keep disconnecting, reset your AirPods and reconnect them.


More info : If your AirPods won’t connect.


Do they disconnect only from your iPad, or from your other devices too?
