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.
