Same here. I had the 8+ and I have airpods gen 2. This problem started after the update. I reset my phone multiple times, disconnected my airpods, reset them multiple times, and nothing worked. thought maybe it was the phone so I purchased the 11 today and still nothing. Huge inconvenience that Apple needs to fix!
