How To Keep Your AirPods From Connecting Automatically with All Your Apple Gadgets?

One of the coolest features most AirPods have is that they can quickly switch between your Apple devices without you doing anything. That way, if you’re listening to music on your Mac but want to watch a video on your iPhone, you can just play that video, and your AirPods will automatically switch over to your iPhone.

Of course, that can also be annoying sometimes. Fortunately, you can stop AirPods from connecting to other devices with a few taps.
