I have two HomePods. In iCloud one of them is labeled correctly as “Master Bedroom HomePod” but the other one just says “HomePod”. Have them both labeled in the Home app with their respective locations. The second one should be “Kitchen HomePod.” I know this is a minor issue but I plan on adding more and want to be able to know which is which. Anyone know how to get the name to change in iCloud? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

The HomePod hasn't pushed its name change yet. I'm not sure what the trigger is for this but its not something that happens very often. For YEARS I would find incorrect device names and version numbers on iCloud.com. Its only a temporary visual glitch that just randomly corrects itself.
While I've had the problem plenty of times on various devices its currently accurate.
I think I read signing out of iCloud on the device and back in will fix it however that can be a real pain depending on the device and in the end you won't really gain anything.

Go to homepod setting. Under default account. Change account by using ur initial account. Sign in again. It should work.
