Hi dynesh4u42,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community,


Re: My Airpods not pairing with my Iphone


Your AirPods would need to be well-charged,

Charge your AirPods and learn about battery life

and

in discovery mode. (flashing white) in order to pair.


If you haven't already, you might want to try wearing your AirPods, 

and 

on iPhone:   Try Settings > Bluetooth > tap "Not Connected"

__________________________________________________________

If more help is needed:


Your iPhone may need updating to the latest compatible iOS version.

Eg: About iOS 16 Updates - Apple Support (says iOS 16.4.1 is the latest)

(The firmware on the AirPods can then be updated automatically when paired).

or

Sometimes restarting the iPhone restores order, if the AirPods have been pairing ok before. (How to: Restart your iPhone)

___________________________________________________________


You might want to check that you are only connecting AirPods to one device at a time. (Eg may not be switching between multiple devices.)


      See if turn off / turn on bluetooth helps

      or

      Switch your AirPods to another device – Apple Support
