Just updated HomePod to ios 13.2.1. Unfortunately HandOff is not working at all(any app). Tried to restart HomePod and Iphone already. "Transfer to HomePod" in AirPlay and HandOff is switched on. Tried to switch it off and on again but id didn't help. Do you have any ideas guys?
HomePod, iOS 13
Had the same problem bit finally got it to work. Literally has to sit my XR on top of the HomePod and leave it there. took about 5 secs to recognise it, then handed off my music. Tried it without silicone case but no quicker. I did restart phone and HomePod. Now to check it works on my other 2 Homepods.
I had problem with my wife’s voice recognition but I removed her from Home and added again and now it’s working
Turn on Handoff on your devices
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch: Go to Settings , then tap General > Then tap AirPlay & Handoff. (Turn it On)
I suspect you may be right. I'm in South Africa and it's not working at all. Homepod is not supported here yet.
Is Homepod officially supported in Israel? If not, that may be the problem. I'm in South Africa and have the same issue.
All other home automation works, including HomePod. The only feature not working is handoff from my 11 pro. And yeah, the first thing I tried was removing the HomePod from the home app and adding it again. Still no joy.
I am in Israel and have 3 HomePods (two are paired as a stereo pair at home and one is at the office). iPhone 11 Pro Max. All devices are on iOS 13.2 and 13.2.1 respectively. Transfer to Homepod is activated in Control > AirPlay & Handoff. Voice recognition and Ambient Sounds work for all. Handoff doesn't work on any of the HomePods.
WIFI passwords only. Everything what you have in KeyChain stays. KeyChain working over the iCloud I guess. Only one thing what changed for me if we talking about KeyChain is “AutoFill Password”. You need to turn it on back again in Settings -> Passwords & Accounts -> AutoFill Passwords
Exact same issue here, with a twist. When I am playing music on my iPhone (transfer turned on) and I hold it over the HomePod, the HomePod starts playing music. However, it's totally different music than what is playing on the iPhone. How is that even possible? Transfer is a great idea, but obviously does not work. iPhone is iOS 13.2.3 and HomePod is 13.2.1, both the most recent versions.
Anyone got this working in uk? Haven’t got a native device on the main Apple ID with nfc linked with home pod. but all the devices in the family accounts have and none of them work. Any ideas? Also since 13.3 HomePod doesn’t Recognise multi users.
Mine works perfectly from my iPhone X and always has, but it will not work on my son’s iPhone 11 Pro or my Wife’s iPhone XR. All three are in the Home, and all three have the same permissions. I removed my family from the Home and re-invited them but it still won’t work for them. They can manually airplay to the HomePod, but they cannot tap to handoff.
Maybe something to do with the fact that my phone was the one that set up the HomePod originally?
yes, I'm up to date. iOS 13.2 on iPhone and iOS 13.2.1 on HomePod
Exactly the same issue here. 13.2 on the phone, 13.2.1 on my HomePod and no handoff from Music or Podcasts. Frustrating!
Same issue. I just got the 13.2.1 HomePod update overnight. iPhone XR iOS 13.2.
Not for me, even after a restart, I even reset my HomePod. The only thing left is to restore my phone, which seems a bit drastic.
Doesn't work for me either. I have a feeling it is somehow blocked in countries where Homepod isn't supported yet (This is a guess). I'm in the UAE.
handoff is not working on HomePod
