Aspects of the present invention disclose a method for managing audio on a mobile device based on environmental factors. The method includes one or more processors determining that an audio-related task initiates on a mobile device. The method further includes determining whether a location of the mobile device is within a threshold proximity to a paired smart speaker. In response to determining that the location of the mobile device is within the threshold proximity, the method further includes determining a first set of environmental factors associated with a physical environment of the paired smart speaker based on data associated with the mobile device, the paired smart speaker, and the corresponding operating environment. The method further includes determining whether to transfer the audio-related task from the mobile device to the paired smart speaker based on analyzing of the first set of environmental factors in comparison to user preferences.
