Apple. No. We need to talk. We have a big big problem. That problem is AirPods. I never, and I do mean never, want my AirPods to connect to my watch. Ever. So stop aggressively pulling them away from my phone even when there's clearly audio playing on said phone. Also, when I press forget this device on the watch, who in their absolutely right mind thought that this should mean forget them on all devices connected to my iCloud account? No seriously who? I need to talk to them. Nicely. And explain to them that this is just wrong. It's wrong. That's not what that option should do. Nobody thinks that's what that option should do.

@talon Yep having that button do that makes 0 sense.

@KaraLG84 I can tell my Mac never to automatically connect to them. I can tell my phone to never automatically connect to them. The only one device I have that I do never want them to connect to automatically I can't tell not to automatically connect to them. I just... aaaaarrrgh. Am I missing something here?

@talon @KaraLG84 Mine randomly stopped connecting to watch and that's just how I like it.

@FreakyFwoof @KaraLG84 Mine used to never do that before. Now they do and they just won't stop. I just tried turning off handoff in desperation.

@FreakyFwoof @KaraLG84 In the minutes I've turned off handoff for the watch the headphones have been connected to my phone without the watch interfering. Was that it? Did that actually help? I'd be so happy

@FreakyFwoof @KaraLG84 I spoke too soon. They just did it again. Seriously this is bad enough I might just stop wearing the thing. You have no idea how entirely and utterly annoying this is.

@FreakyFwoof @KaraLG84 listen to podcast? Haha no, paused, you want headphones on the watch. Using voice vista? Haha nope, airpods to the watch. Blindsquare? Reading an article? Scrolling Mastodon? Writing feedback about this very issue? Nope, you clearly want your airpods on the watch, despite your phone clearly being active and you're actively using it. Right? That's what you want. We're Apple. It just works.

@talon @KaraLG84 You could turn bluetooth off on the watch and maybe have a bad time if you do? Not sure.

@FreakyFwoof @KaraLG84 but then the watch will stop doing the things it's useful for. Like tracking my runs properly. Or notifications. Although to be fair it can't be worse than now. It can't track exercise if I'm not wearing the damn thing because it pisses me off so much.

@talon @KaraLG84 Not sure. I'm pretty sure I have handoff enabled because I don't know if it auto-unlocks mack without it.

@talon @KaraLG84 I've gotten around this issue by telling them to remember the last device usage. This is the only thing that seems to work.

@ppatel @KaraLG84 Where is this?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from talon@dragonscave.space
@talon @KaraLG84 Settings/bluetooth/Airpods pro. Flick down to "more info", and choose either "connect automatically" or "when last connected to this iPhone."

@ppatel @KaraLG84 I set that. Closed settings. Raised my wrist and you can imagine what happened next. That's right. My watch took over my headphones and my phone blasted vo at full volume through the speakers. Gods damn it

@talon @KaraLG84 Hmmm. The only time it does that for me is when I'm exercising, I really don't mind it then because that use case actually makes sense.

@ppatel @KaraLG84 I never want it to happen. Never ever. I want my watch to forget that these AirPods exist. I go for walks and runs and I use apps on my phone for orientation and whatever. In all my time owning an Apple Watch not a single time did I ever want my headphones connected to it. Never. But I can't tell them to forget this device without every single other device in my iCloud forgetting it too. I just don't get it. I really do not.

@talon @ppatel @KaraLG84 Can't you make an automation so that "whenever this connects to bluetooth, disconnect immediately (or hand to phone)?

@talon @KaraLG84 What happens if you restart both the phone and the watch?

@talon @KaraLG84 I have somehow not ever had this problem. I don't know what I did to make it not do that. I've certainly seen a lot of people complaining about it though.

@BorrisInABox @KaraLG84 I haven't had this problem for years. And now it just suddenly kinda started happening.

@talon @KaraLG84 That's the apple way, don't ya know.

@BorrisInABox @KaraLG84 Maybe if we say the word widget three times in front of a mirror Craig will show up and we can get this solved.

@talon @pixelate I beg to differ. Sometimes, if you are playing music through your watch, you might want the AirPods to connect to it. After all, I think this is kind of what they designed it for, the idea that you could leave your phone behind and go for a run or whatever else.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from RandomFire@fwoof.space
@RandomFire @pixelate that doesn't change the fact that in my years of having a watch and a phone I never ever wanted it to do it, I will never want it to do it, and it does it every couple of seconds now. Let me press forget on the watch and only forget it on the watch.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from talon@dragonscave.space
@RandomFire @pixelate the phone, the mac, all of those things have an option that says automatically connect to this device, and I can say no. But the watch doesn't have this. So just about every time I raise my wrist my headphones force connect to my watch. I don't want this. Nothing's happening on the watch. Don't connect my headphones there.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from talon@dragonscave.space
@talon @pixelate Ah, there might be the difference. I turned the wrist raise thing off. Even still, yeah, an option should be there like it is for the other devices. I will agree with you there.

@RandomFire @pixelate oh you know what that might be a good hack to get around the problem. Let me try this.

@talon Unhelpful reply, but I've had the exact same issue with my Mac, even if I did the thing in settings that tells it not to connect to it. One key press, AirPods are on the Mac. It just resolved itself one day. So, all I can say is, wait for the magic to happen, until then, regret buying these supposedly premium headphones.
