iOS 16.3 beta guides users on how to use Handoff from iPhone to HomePod

Tutorial on how to switch from iPhone to HomePod using iOS 16.3

Switching from iPhone to HomePod is not a new feature. In fact, it's been around since the first-generation HomePod, which was discontinued in 2021. With the U1 chip, HomePod mini functions better and more precisely. Simply hold your iPhone close to HomePod to stream songs, podcasts, or calls.

To help users become more familiar with this feature, Apple has included a new tutorial in iOS 16.3 to show HomePod owners how to do this.

Now, those who have a HomePod set up on their account will see this new tutorial after updating to iOS 16.3 (currently in beta). iOS explains that users can hold their iPhone close to HomePod to view playback controls or move audio between devices. Here's what the system says:

Put iPhone closer to HomePod to see the controls, or move music between iPhone and HomePod while it's playing.

You can bring iPhone closer to HomePod again later to view controls or stream music.

It's a small change, but at the same time, it helps users understand more about what they can do with HomePod. Earlier this month, the company expanded HomePod mini availability to three more countries: Sweden, Finland, and Norway. Apple also confirmed that the HomePod mini will soon be available in South Africa.
