Many Airpods Pro users complain that every now and then their earphones will connect and disconnect while on call on the iPhone. The problem is that the person on the other end is not able to hear the voice even though the Airpods are connected properly. But then after switching to the speaker on iPhone, both can hear each other’s voices. This issue is so widespread and affects Airpods Pro users still now. Therefore, in this guide, we will tell you how to fix this problem regarding Airpods Pro voice connects and disconnects while talking in detail below.
Fix: Airpods Pro Voice Connects and Disconnects While Talking
You can try to fix the Airpods Pro 2nd generation disconnecting and reconnecting problems on your iPhone while receiving a call by going to iPhone Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Call Audio Routing and then selecting the Bluetooth Headset option instead of the Automatic one.
This seems to be a universal problem with Airpods Pro 2nd generation and iPhone XS Max users, but there are also some iPhone 14 Pro Max users who are complaining about the same issue. For some, upgrading to the latest iOS 16.5.1 update fixed the issue related to calls disconnecting and reconnecting while talking, so I would suggest everyone try this workaround for the time being as well.
