I was trying to get the home pod mini (hand off) transfer working on my iPhone - but its not working for me, I was just wondering is it only available in iOS 14.4 ? or is there a certain settings on my phone that I need to change? and what phones dose it work with?
 
Put your phone on the front top of the mini. You should then see the prompt. It can be a bit finicky. But 14.4 will make it easier when it’s released.
 
What phones dose with work with I just got my 12 pro max yesterday and I tried and it was not working
 
In Settings, General, AirPlay & Handoff do you have Transfer to HomePod and Handoff checked?
 
the 8 Plus, 11 Pro Max are one 14.3 and the 12 Pro max will be on 14.4 Beta in a little bit
 
Only other suggestion I would have before a reset is to uncheck and recheck those buttons, unplug the HomePod and reboot your phone. Handoff works for me but is is still really finicky (14.4 beta 2).
 
I would like the feature to work, but its not for me and everything is on- there is a part of that dose not care about this feature then the other part kind wants this feature to work
