Homepod mini handoff not working

I purchased this specifically for the handoff feature as working from home I thought it would be pretty cool to be able to hold my phone near it while on call or playing a podcast and have it transfer over without going through the Bluetooth menu but after setting up the homepod mini, it just doesn't work at all. The "transfer to homepod" feature is enabled.

Also, when I tap the top, it just starts playing U2 music but not sure why it does that. What app would that be playing from/ Any way to disable that?

HomePod mini, 14

I've tried restarting the toggle for both phones, but still no luck.

I think it's a bug for some cases. Hopefully Apple will resolve this issue with an update soon.

Ah, your insights made sense. U1 UWB is not available in my country - Indonesia yet.

I hope they bring back the NFC method in the next patch.

Same here, I even installed all the recent Beta and the only thing working is Airplay, no NFC or U1 transfer either. And, Like you, it used to work before 14.4 update....

mine wasn’t working until I changed internet providers and now it works perfectly

There is no relation between the wifi network and handoff functionality that uses NFC.
