Control audio with Siri on HomePod
Everyone in your household with their own iPhone or iPad can control HomePod simply by using Siri. If you set up voice recognition, Siri can recognise multiple voices so that everyone can access their own music and play their own personalised recommendations.
Control audio
Try any of the following examples:
Activate Siri: Say “Hey Siri”, followed by your request.
For example, say “Hey Siri, play some music”. Your voice activates Siri — even if HomePod is across the room or already playing something else.
Adjust the volume: Say something like “Hey Siri, make it louder”. Or set a specific volume level with “Hey Siri, set the volume to 50 per cent”.
Pause and resume playback: Say “Hey Siri, stop”. To resume, say “Hey Siri, play”.
Set a sleep timer: Stop music, podcasts and other audio after a certain amount of time. Say something like “Hey Siri, stop playing in 30 minutes”.
Control multiple speakers
Try any of the following examples:
Play in a room: Refer to the room where the HomePod is. For example, say “Hey Siri, play music in the living room”. Play in multiple rooms by saying “Hey Siri, play this in the living room and kitchen”.
Move audio to a room: To stop playing on a speaker and start playing on another, say something like “Hey Siri, move this to the bedroom”.
Add a room: To add a room when audio is already playing, say “Hey Siri, add the kitchen” or “Hey Siri, play music from the kitchen here”.
Other things you can say:
“Hey Siri, play everywhere”
“Hey Siri, stop playing in the office and game room”
“Hey Siri, what’s playing downstairs?”
“Hey Siri, set the upstairs volume to 20 per cent”
