How do you reconnect if the connection with the iPhone is exposed even though the AirPods is installed?If you are used to Bluetooth devices, you may intuitively press the button on the back of the case.In fact, this is a pitfall.

If you press the button on the back of the case, you may permit the pairing from other people's iPhone, or the AirPods will be reset and you will be able to pair with the screen tap alone.

To reconnect safely, open the control center "AirPlay" and set the output destination to AirPods.
