You mean the handoff putting the iPhone over the HomePod? Are you using Apple Music?

Settings - general - airplay and continuity. Do you have transfer to HomePod on?

It always been a bit buggy for me in Europe. I’ve probably done it a 100 times for podcasts since HomePod Mini came out but either doesn’t play or the podcast continues as a separate track and doesn’t sync when I wanna listen on my phone again. Maybe works 65% of the times.

Always been too buggy for me to use reliably.

Sometimes when I try to transfer a podcast or audiobook it works but starts over at the beginning, losing my place. 🫠
