HomePod HomePod Intercom not showing with update

[syrcular]

Just upgraded to 14.1 and the intercom feature doesn’t show up anywhere. Is anyone else running into this?

Yes I am .I looked at a you tube video from AppleInsider and he did it using 14.2 so it must be in that

I have the same problem. Ios 14.1 and no Intercom.

Same here

I said in the other post I looked at a youtube video from AppleInsider and he did it using 14.2 so it must be in that

According to 9-5 Mac, it should all be working on 14.1

Doesn’t show up for me on iOS 14.1 either.

Telling Siri to “Intercom the kitchen” on my iPhone causes it to display a message “You can only intercom from one HomePod to another.”

I thought it might

As soon as I unpaired my homepods intercom was available but no splash screen and no "sound waves" in upper right corner of home app. Haven´t got it to actually intercom yet

I think if your iPhone had 142 you may see'sound waves'

I have two stereo pairs of original homepods. All four are on the same Wi-Fi network, all on 14.1 as is my iPhone. Weirdly one stereo pair has intercom, the other does not (not even showing as an option in the home app).

If I go to the pair that does have intercom switched on in the home app, I can also see a toggle for the other stereo pair, but it will not let me toggle that one on.

Something is clearly not right

I just looked and it looks like mine is similar to you. I have pairs of stereo Homepods and I have in the setting a new option marked intercom but underneath it says paused but both sets are toggled on

No intercom for me either. I'm on 14.1.

I just spoke with Apple Support and they told me it only works between 2 or more HomePods. Isn't this different than what they announced?

 

[gw0gvq]

Siri says you can only intercom from one to another but that's all I try to do I wonder if on the HomePod mini you can only do multiroom

They are basing the answer on what is currently possible based on the versions available to the public. Which is HomePod to HomePod.

Once iOS 14.2 comes out, then iPhones & iPads will support Intercom, as iOS 14.2 is required to support it.

I have 14.2 and it’s not showing up under home settings at all.

I’m not on the 14.2 beta so I can’t speak intelligently to that but it does work great for me, HomePod to HomePod, on 14.1.

Intercom is not supported on stereo pairs. Perhaps they will correct that at a later time.
