Hey @otto007,
One way that could work is for you to set another app as a default music player and uninstall it (or maybe keep it if it's not working if you delete it). That way it will try to play from that app but since you don't use it, nothing will happen.
I don't know if there's a AirPod specific setting that would help with this but you could tinker in Settings > Bluetooth > 'Your AirPods' because as far as I know this feature can't be disabled.
Keep me posted 🙂
Hey @otto007, welcome to the Community.
Hope you're doing great!
This is a feature of iOS, where the default music player will start playing when the play button is pressed (e.g. in the Control Center). Same thing on macOS, if I press the play button on my headphones and nothing else was playing audio, Apple Music will open and start playing music.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
is there a way i can disable it?
