As I posted some while ago, unless someone from Sonos will say what the “correct” method is, we’re only guessing - if there even is a correct method. 
 

That said, the most telling comment in the article ​@craigski linked us to is at the end:

“Maybe a slightly different path around the room, or a little more time spent in the areas where you prefer to listen, will give a better result.”

This just reinforces my belief: whether you hold the phone one way or the other, with mic pointing up or down, facing you or away from you, will probably give a different tuning result. So too does the route you take dancing around the room. So does how high or low you sweep your phone, how big the room is for you to cover all of it - or maybe spending more time close to your listening position.

Perform a Trueplay dance, listen to the resulting sound profile, and if you like it, keep it. If not, Trueplay again.

ChatGPT suggested microphone up while sitting and down while walking, in spite of the app saying to point it up the entire time. Like someone else said earlier, I would suggest trying a variety of ways, until you get the sound that appeals to you. Once you find that place, leave it alone.
