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 proximate the paired smart speaker, wherein the first set of environmental factors include detected indications within the physical environment proximate to the paired smart speaker. 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.
