User level: Level 1 (11 points)I have a new HomePod mini 2 and am looking for a way to transfer a call from iPhone to HomePod without having to manually press the transfer message that gets displayed on the phone. I was able to do this with the HomePod mini original generation.
I am running v27.2 on both the HomePod mini 2 and iPhone 12 mini.
Currently, I get a message 'Tap to transfer...' which works, but is clumsy and I would prefer to have the handoff occur automatically as it did with the prior generation HomePod

Check Settings > General > AirPlay & Continuity on the iPhone and make sure Transfer to HomePod is on, with Bluetooth enabled. If the transfer prompt still needs a tap, you can also say “Siri, move this call to the HomePod” on the iPhone. Does bringing the phone close to the top of the HomePod transfer music automatically, or does that also require a tap?
