The new sound of home
Start your day
Got a favorite morning tune? Just ask. Say, for example, “Hey Siri, play Green Light
by Lorde,” or if youʼre too groggy to choose, say “Hey Siri, play something upbeat.”
With one of the worldʼs largest music catalogs at your command—thanks to your
Apple Music subscription—there are more than 40 million songs to hear.
Did you miss anything overnight? Ask “Hey Siri, whatʼs the latest news?” See if you
have time for another cup of coffee by asking “Hey Siri, howʼs the traffic on the way
to Cupertino?” Or wherever youʼre going today.
Make dinner
HomePod can lend a hand in the kitchen. Say “Hey Siri, set a 20-minute timer” or
“Hey Siri, how many cups are in a pint?”
Use HomePod to control the smart home accessories that youʼve set up in the
Home app. Then, when itʼs time to eat, you can say things like “Hey Siri, dim the
lights in the dining room." Then hear a personalized selection created just for you by
Apple Music by saying “Hey Siri, play some relaxing music.”
Time for bed
Before you retire for the evening, say “Hey Siri, set an alarm for 7 oʼclock tomorrow,”
This might be a good time to ask “Hey Siri, will I need an umbrella tomorrow?”
Say “Hey Siri, goodnight” to run a scene that turns off all the lights, locks the front
door, and lowers the temperature. Sweet dreams.
Want to learn more? Say “Hey Siri, what can I ask you?”

Welcome to HomePod
HomePod is a powerful speaker that senses and adapts to the room where itʼs playing. It
works with your Apple Music subscription, giving you instant access to one of the worldʼs
largest music catalogs, all ad free. And, with the intelligence of Siri, you control HomePod
through natural voice interaction, allowing anyone in the home to use it just by speaking.
HomePod also works with your HomeKit accessories so you can control your home, even
when youʼre away.

Set up
To set up HomePod you need an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad with iOS 11.3 or later. Before you
begin, make sure that your iOS device has Bluetooth turned on, and that itʼs connected to the
Wi-Fi network that you want HomePod to use.
Set up HomePod for the first time. Plug HomePod in and wait until the light on top is pulsing
white. Hold your unlocked iOS device within a few centimeters of HomePod. When the setup
screen appears, tap Set Up and follow the onscreen instructions.
Tip: If the setup screen doesnʼt appear automatically, open the Home app, tap
, then
tap Add Accessory. Tap “Donʼt Have a Code or Canʼt Scan?” then tap HomePod in the Nearby
Accessories list. If you donʼt have the Home app installed, you can get it from the App Store.
For enhanced security and network performance you will be asked to enable two-factor
authentication for your Apple ID, or set your Wi-Fi network to use WPA/WPA2 security, if you
havenʼt already done so.
During setup, the Wi-Fi settings, Siri preferences, Apple ID, and Apple Music subscription
currently configured for your iOS device are copied to HomePod. If youʼre not already an
Apple Music subscriber, youʼre offered a trial subscription during setup. HomePod is added to
the Home app on your iOS device and assigned to the room you specify during setup. After
the Home app on your iOS device and assigned to the room you specify during setup. After
HomePod is up and running, you can use the Home app to change its name, its room
assignment, and other settings.
The personal requests feature allows HomePod to use your iOS device for creating reminders,
adding notes, and sending and reading messages. See Messages, Reminders, and Notes for
more information.
HomePod automatically detects its position in the room and adapts the audio to sound great
wherever you place it. You may hear HomePod adjust the sound during the first song played
after setup or when you move HomePod to a new location.

volume level such as “Hey Siri, set the volume to 50 percent.”
Pause and resume playback. Say “Hey Siri, stop.” To resume, say “Hey Siri, play.”
Go to the next track. Say “Hey Siri, next song.” You can also say, for example,“Hey Siri, skip

Keep songs out of your listening history: Songs played on HomePod influence how Apple
Music identifies music you like, and theyʼre visible to your followers on Apple Music. If
Music identifies music you like, and theyʼre visible to your followers on Apple Music. If
others are using your HomePod and you donʼt share their taste in music, you might want

Privacy and security
Security and privacy are fundamental to the design of HomePod. Nothing you say is sent to
Apple servers until HomePod recognizes “Hey Siri” before a request. All communication
between HomePod and Apple servers is encrypted, and anonymous IDs protect your identity.
For detailed information about privacy and Siri, see the iOS Security Guide.

APPLE MUSIC
Listen to music
Hear something youʼll like. Just say “Hey Siri, play some music.” Apple Music learns your
taste and uses it to choose which songs to play for you. To help Apple Music learn what you
like, say “Hey Siri, I like this” when you hear a song youʼd like to add to your preferences.
Listen to a song. Got some music in mind? Just ask. Say, for example, “Hey Siri, play the
theme from La La Land” or “Hey Siri, play Ed Sheeranʼs newest album." You can also ask for
songs and playlists from your iTunes library.
Tip: To hear the same song as interpreted by other artists, say “Hey Siri, play the other
version.”
Listen by artist, genre, activity, or mood. Ask for a specific artist, or a genre of music such
as Latin jazz. You can also ask for the vibe you want. For example, say “Hey Siri, play some
party music,” or get even more specific with “Hey Siri, play hip-hop from the 1990s.” You can
let Siri decide whatʼs next with “Hey Siri, play something totally different.”
Tip: Say “Hey Siri, add this to my library,” or “Hey Siri, add this album to my library.”
Listen to hits, chart toppers, or music by decade. Say something like “Hey Siri, play the top
song from November 1976,” or “Hey Siri, play the best songs from 1982.” Or get into a whole
decade with something like “Hey Siri, play music from the 1950s.”
Tip: Try saying “Hey Siri, tell me about this artist,” or “Hey Siri, what album is this?” You
can also say “Hey Siri, when was this song released?” For bands, you can ask whoʼs playing a
certain instrument. For many popular songs, you can ask about the writer and producer.
Listen to Beats 1. Say “Hey Siri, play Beats 1 radio” to hear the latest in music, interviews,
and culture broadcasting from studios in Los Angeles, New York, and London.

Apple Podcasts
HomePod makes it easy to listen to podcasts. With hundreds of thousands of free podcasts to
choose from, thereʼs one (or more) for every interest.
Listen to a podcast. Say, for example, “Hey Siri, play the podcast Myths & Legends.”
Subscribe to a podcast. Say “Hey Siri, subscribe to this podcast” to add it to your library.
When new episodes are available, they appear in Listen Now in the Podcasts app on your iOS
device and Apple TV.

News
HomePod offers news briefs from the top news sources in the world so you can stay up to
date.
Hear the latest headlines. Say “Hey Siri, whatʼs the news today?” to hear whatʼs going on in
the world. Siri will suggest other news sources, and you can switch to one at any time. Say
something like “Hey Siri, switch to CNN instead.”
Get specific news. Say, for example, “Hey Siri, give me the latest sports news.” You can also
ask for business news.

Control your home
Use HomePod to control the HomeKit accessories—such as lights, thermostats, and window
shades—that youʼve set up in the Home app on your iOS device. Then you can say things like
“Hey Siri, set the thermostat to 72 degrees” or “Hey Siri, did I lock the front door?”
The commands that work when youʼre speaking to HomePod depend on which smart home
accessories you have set up. For more info about using the Home app, see the Home chapter
in the iPhone User Guide, iPod touch User Guide, or iPad User Guide.
For more information about HomeKit and available accessories, see the HomeKit webpage.
Control an accessory. To control a single accessory, use the name you gave it in the Home
app. For example, say “Hey Siri, turn on the porch light.” You can check the status of an
accessory by saying something like “Hey Siri, is the porch light on?” You can also say, for
example, “Hey Siri, turn off the lights in here,” to control the accessories that are in the same
room as HomePod.
Tip: You can use HomePod to lock or check the status of door locks and other HomeKit
security accessories. To unlock security accessories, you must use your iOS device because
unlocking requires authentication using Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode.
Activate a scene. Set up scenes in the Home app to control a number of accessories all at
once. After a scene is defined, refer to it by name. For example, say “Hey Siri, good night” to
run a scene named “good night” that turns off your lights, sets the thermostat, and draws the
window shades.
Use HomePod as a home hub. HomePod automatically acts as a home hub. This allows you
to control your homeʼs accessories using the Home app when youʼre away. You can also
trigger accessories based on time of day, your location, or the action of another accessory,
such as a sensor.

Messages, Reminders, and Notes
To be able to make personal requests that use Messages, Reminders, and Notes, your iOS
device and HomePod must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and your iOS device
must be the one you share your location from using Find My Friends.
All requests that require access to Contacts, Messages, Reminders, and Notes are handed off
to your iOS device for processing, regardless of whoʼs speaking. When youʼre away from
home, your device is turned off, or your device isnʼt on the same Wi-Fi network as HomePod,
these requests wonʼt be accepted by HomePod.
Set up your iOS device for personal requests. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud >
Share My Location > From, then choose This Device. Siri must also be enabled on the device.
Send a message. Say “Hey Siri, send a message to Chris saying that Iʼll bring the vacuum
cleaner with me.” If the recipient replies within a few minutes, youʼll hear a ding.
Read messages. Say “Hey Siri, read my unread messages” or “Hey Siri, read my messages
from Kim.”
Work with Reminders. Say “Hey Siri, remind me to drop off the dry cleaning.” You can also
refer to places that are in Contacts on your iOS device. For example, say “Hey Siri, remind me
to put my lunch in the fridge when I get to work.” You can ask about items in Reminders too.
Say “Hey Siri, whatʼs on my shopping list?” To check off a reminder, say “Hey Siri, mark water
the plants as complete.”
Work with Notes. Say things like “Hey Siri, add a note called birthday presents” or “Hey Siri,
add Twain to my favorite authors note.”
If you donʼt want to allow access to Messages, Reminders, and Notes you can turn off support
for personal requests in the Home app. If you have more than one HomePod, you can turn
personal requests on or off for each device.
Turn personal requests on or off. In the Home app, tap
, tap your name, then turn off
Personal Requests.
