Is there a way to change this HomePod’s name in the iCloud iOS device settings? For some reason, it’s listed as “dining room homepod” when the other homepods (listed as “bedroom homepod” and “kitchen homepod” in the home app) are just “homepod” in these settings. <see first screenshot> And then when visiting iCloud.com from my desktop, the names aren’t even the same - they show their room names except the kitchen one that I just set up a few days ago. <see second screenshot> Would like to be consistent. Any ideas?

You can rename HomePods in the Home app.
They're named correctly in the Home app (see 1st image) but do not match in the iCloud device settings (see 2nd image).

How long ago did you rename? I remember it taking a while to propagate everywhere when I renamed my devices.

I’ve had the Dining Room and Bedroom homepods for a while now. The kitchen homepod is a few days new.
