I replaced my iPhone with a Pixel 7a running Graphene OS.
Everything I see online says I should be able to easily connect my Airpods by opening up the Bluetooth settings and clicking “Pair” on the phone while the case is open…but it never seems to find my Airpods.
It does find my partner’s Mac and other nearby Apple products, including what I think are my neighbors’!
The Airpods are fully charged. The old iPhone now belongs to my kid, which I wiped before giving it to them.
Any suggestions?

To set up your AirPods with an Android phone or other non-Apple device, follow these steps:
On your non-Apple device, make sure that Bluetooth is on (on an Android device, go to Settings > Connections > Bluetooth).
Do one of the following:
AirPods 1, 2, or 3, or AirPods Pro (all models): With your AirPods in the charging case, open the lid, then press and hold the setup button on the back of the AirPods case for about 5 seconds, or until the status light flashes white.
AirPods 4 (both models): Open the case with your AirPods inside, hold it next to your device, then double-tap the front of the AirPods case so the status light flashes white.
AirPods Max: Press and hold the noise control button for about 5 seconds, or until the status light flashes white.
When your AirPods appear in the list of Bluetooth devices, select them.

Yes! It worked, thank you! I never ran across these instructions in my searches.
My search was “pair airpods on android” nothing crazy. You’re welcome!
Haha, I kept using “Pixel 7” and “GrapheneOS” as search terms. I’m not used to having an Android phone and didn’t even know what to properly call it, I guess. :)
No worries!
