Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the HomePod mini is designed to be instantaneous. Simply plug in the provided power adapter and hold your iPhone or iPad near the speaker to trigger the automated setup process via the Home app. Ensure your Apple device is running the latest software version and that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled.
Compatibility is focused on the Apple ecosystem. It requires a device running the latest iOS or iPadOS for full functionality. To care for your device, wipe the exterior mesh fabric gently with a soft, dry cloth if it becomes dusty. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as the mesh is designed to be acoustically transparent and can be sensitive to moisture.
