homepod

Can we expect some basic functionality that we don't have now? Such as; phone calls, audiobooks, etc. Are there any rumors? There seems to be so many basic functions that siri does on all other devices, but not on Homepod. And I'm talking basic functions that dont need a screen. Also -...

Hey guys Im a new youtuber, I was wondering if you could lend me some constructive criticism on my videos as I take on this new venture. Here is my review on the Apple Home Pod: Thanks in advance.

Got iTunes Match early last week, and after setting it up I can request music from my HomePod.However, about two to four times per day the HomePod loses sync with the Library. I request a particular song or artist, the HomePod Siri says she'll start playing it, but there's no music. Once this...

Has anyone else experienced this? No matter how many times I’ve renamed my two HomePods, such as HomePod Kitchen and HomePod Bedroom, the iCloud device list won’t update. Everywhere I go, the Apple support page, iCloud.com, my iCloud profile in my iPhone, etc, the names won’t change from...

Is there a way to get the HomePod to play audiobooks I own which I have purchased on the apple store via voice or has it always got to be via airplay. Can't seem to find any voice commands that work for it

I am using my HomePod at work. It is connected to my work's wifi. My iPhone is also connected to my work's wifi. When I am using my phone to play music on my HomePod, it disconnects frequently. I can often make it through one song, although it has disconnected during the first song. It...

I was so excited to replace my Bose COMPUTER sounds system connected to my TV with the Home Pod only to figure out it can only be used for APPLETV? Is this true? Is there anyway or any future plans to universally connect to TVs?

Hey everyone! Since I bought the HomePod I seem to be having reoccurring issue with playing songs I’ve purchased from the iTunes Store. When I ask Siri to play any purchased song I will hear silence. The same situation happens when I try to control the HomePod via iOS’s AirPlay feature...

Now that I’ve entered the world of “smart speakers”, I’ve started paying attention to what Alexa is offering. While I feel that Alexa has gone overboard with the equivalent of fart apps, I wish there were a collection of SiriKit apps that worked with HomePod. One Alexa skill that stood out to...

I tried asking Siri on my iPhone to “play new songs I might like” and the results so far has been very disappointing. The other day, it played an entire album from a group I’ve never heard of, and despite saying “I don’t like this album” it kept playing the next song in the album. And today is...

Is it possible to use an iPhone (or a connected mic-enabled wired headset) as a live microphone with the HomePod amplifying sound? For example, an event that needs room music but also a small PA for people giving short speeches. Can HomePod handle both in some way?

This thread will be an ongoing comprehensive review of HomePod in Canada. I've had my HomePod in Toronto for about a week now and can report that while HomePod setup was seamless, recognizing my Canadian AppleID and Apple Music account with no issue, Canadians looking to import a HomePod should...

Okay so I have royally screwed up my entire ecosystem of Apple products. The last several weeks my iPad has been unable to connect to my WiFi at home. I tried everything; resetting network settings on the iPad, changing my SSID and network password, I checked the blocked devices list for my...

I can't see this being discussed anywhere, do podcasts sync if using icloud? I am wanting to listen to a podcast on my phone and ask the homepod to pick up from where I am on my phone when I get home. Does this work or do I have to connect and airplay it? I am using the apple podcast app.

I'm currently looking into the HomePod, but one area that I'd be interested to use it for that I can't find an awful lot about is the quality of phone calls done through the HomePod, and I was hoping that some of you who have tried that could share their experience. I know what it technically...

I'm curious. A lot of people seem to have had very confusing (to me at least) expectations from this product. What were yours? Were they met. Were they exceeded? Were you disappointed? As far as my experience - I need my music to sound good. My echo device was doing an OK job, but there is no...

Right now I use Eavescrob to scrobble from Apple Music on my iphone & ipad. I’m trying to figure out if songs played on the Homepod can be scrobbled. Has anyone done it?

My HomePod shows up in the Home app on my iOS devices. I have the HomePod selected as a Favorite. However, the HomePod doesn't appear in the Home app on my Apple Watch (Series 2). Instead, it says "No Accessories Add accessories using the Home app on your iPhone." Well, adding an accessory to...

Hi, Just wanted to make note that the HomePod will allow Apple Developer iOS versions to be installed. If you’re an Apple Developer, just log into the Developer website using your iPhone or whatever iOS device you use to manage your HomePod. In the downloads section, add the iOS OTA...

Last night HomePod in the living room answered my wife twice for Hey Siri. The problem is she was in the bedroom and expected her iPhone to take the request. Homepod is on my Apple ID account, so she didn’t want it to handle her request. After a minute or so, her iPhone responded twice to the...
