HomePod How to Favourite a Track on HomePod

[StumpyBloke]

Until a few months ago you could ask HomePod to favourite the currently playing track (Siri favourite this track). Since then when I do that it says “ok here’s a station picked just for you”, doesn’t add the track to favourites and proceeds to play this station. I know Siri is nothing short of an abortion but WTF??

Don’t know if this has any relevance but this is UK English and happens on all my HomePods.

Does it work for anyone else, or how is it supposed to be done now? Thanks.

Thanks. But tried it and it says it couldn’t find a playlist called favourites. Indefensible how bad this is. Sack the whole damn team!

I got a new one last night. 'Hey siri what time is it?' used to just work. As of last night no matter how I phrase it, the response is 'i found some web results...' THIS USED TO WORK.

very frustrated as well

Siri on HomePod Seems to Have Forgotten How to Give the Time

At some point in the last 24 hours, Siri on the HomePod and the HomePod mini seems to have forgotten how to relay the time. When asking Siri...

Siri on HomePod only has time for High School Musical 2

The HomePod is having an issue understanding the simple query "What time is it?" right now. Apple will probably fix it soon.

You’re not the only one. Wonder if they’re doing some kind of backend testing for the new AI stuff rumored to come out. Regardless, Siri on the HomePod has and likely always will be a joke. Asked it to call my wife yesterday and it told me to authenticate on my iPhone. Well, if I had my iPhone nearby, I’d be using that instead. Guess voice recognition doesn’t want to work now either.

Good find I didnt bother looking I figured it would be fixed pretty quickly. It works today, after retrying.

I remember coming across it the other day when I was perusing the tech news. I never tested it for the past few days but tried today and it’s working for me as well.
