Q: QuestionIs this device able to access and play tunes from Amazon Music?

Asked 4 years ago by Wilburforce.

This question was asked about the related product: Apple - HomePod mini - Space Gray

• A:Answer Apple is allowing other services to be set as the default music streaming service, but the individual companies have to update their respective apps to allow the functionality. So basically Amazon Music will be able to be the default music service if Amazon updates their app to allow it. But any music service can be used on your phone and then streamed via AirPlay to the Homepod.

Q: QuestionIs it wireless

Asked 4 years ago by Nat.

This question was asked about the related product: Apple - HomePod mini - Space Gray

• A:Answer The unit has a cord hard wired into it that ends in a USB, not a regular plug. The adapter similar to a phone charger comes in the box so it can be plugged into any 120V outlet. The units functionality is run by your wireless router and setup is a breeze by just bringing an iPhone, IPad or iPod near the unit and it sets itself up to your router network.

Q: QuestionHello! Does the HomePod Mini play a tone or anything when it turns on/off? (Some speakers have stupid loud "POWERING ON/OFF - doot doot dooooooot" tones, which are really disruptive when listening to music to fall asleep.)

Asked 4 years ago by ChristmasShoppingElf.

This question was asked about the related product: Apple - HomePod mini - Space Gray

• A:Answer It does not other than during initial setup. Once paired to the home you have though, relocating it does not initialize the startup sound. Also, once plugged in, it’s always on and never needs o be “woken up” like you would find in most portable Bluetooth speakers.

Q: Question"Seamlessly hand off audio by bringing your iPhone close to HomePod" - I have a 2018 iphoneXR and bought the mini HomePod specifically to be able to hand off from it. It recognized my phone fine at setup, but no luck with resuming audio with hand off...

• A:Answer Thanks, but that answer didn't help me with a XR...... Glad your experience is good...... I have found a solution in case anyone needs it - I read somewhere that I should make sure Fitness Tracking is turned on. Mine was off since I don't use it. Turned it on and voila!!!! Now my handoff is working! Never would have guessed, but now I know!

Q: QuestionCan it be used outside?

Asked 4 years ago by Jbrew2.

This question was asked about the related product: Apple - HomePod mini - Space Gray

• A:Answer I do not believe it is waterproof. And not sure how long the electronics would last in a long term moist environment. It is small and light weight to move quickly back indoors. As long as you have an electrical outlet outside and your internet signal can reach the distance you could use it for a temporary period but I wouldn't recommend an extended amount of time outdoors. It does work great and using it as an extended speaker from my iphone is really cool!
