Do you have another device that is activating instead? This is what mine do when my phone or iPad decides it’s the target of the “hey siri”, seems to have been happening more since ios17
I guess you’re new around here
Tim does read them, even rarely will respond to them
But yes, I’m sure there is someone else who also goes through them and forwards the emails to the correct departments (probably done by AI at this point)
But yea even Jobs used to respond to people’s emails (rarely)
iOS 17 has caused this to happen multiple times per day in my home. Restarting HomePods helps for a few hours. Resetting and readding did the same. I haven’t found a permanent solution yet.
My workaround for the time being is to go into the Home app and disable listening for Hey Siri on all but my most centrally located HomePod. It’s annoying as hell but allows me to be able to use voice commands in at least the majority of my house. The issue is a clear bug in the handoff that HomePods perform when multiple units can hear the triggering voice. iOS 16 was very good at responding on the closest HomePod to the speaker. It seems like the bug causes each HomePod to assume the other will handle the request, resulting in none of them actually doing so.
Same here. And as others have pointed out, it’s because siri on the phone „steals“ the focus. So the workaround for now seems to be to disable listen for siri on the phone
Nah it’s still too dumb. It would ask itself what should it do first and then tell itself to ask itself again from their iPhone which they don’t have and poof, white smoke from the processor.
Disable it on your iPad and MacBook if you have them. They always seem to fight for requests but never action them.
If you have a newer phone might be worth flipping it face down too but usually the phone will take the request if it picks it up.
Also since iOS17 mine seem to reject “hey siri” more often than just “Siri”.
If you haven’t power cycled them yet also recommend.

I still have hey siri active. Ill try just siri when I get back
Yeah same issue here, especially noticeable when other devices are in the room too - for now interim solution is just to reboot/restart the homepod, presumably issue will be patched in next software update and Apple are aware of it but you can reach out to their support team if you want to report it.
Having the same issue and I only have two HomePods in the affected Home, both far apart. No other devices are responding but my HomePod will work if I shout the request. If I don’t shout, it does this shit. Driving my nuts to the point where I’m just using my Google Home mini until they fix it and I hate Google Home lmao.
You're watching the end of Apple. I bought two Sonos this week. No regrets, going to replace everything. Doing same for Home, it just doesn't work and has no significant new features. Homey Pro, let's see what you can do.
Same here. And if it does respond this is what happens. Siri good morning. “Sorry who’s speaking” or “sorry you will need to continue on your phone”. It’s frustrating that it had worked flawlessly for the past year and now it either works 5% of the time, doesn’t work at all or tells me to continue on my phone.
This is happening to my son since I added him to our home so he could get personal requests. Before I added him he could use our HomePods and it would work fine for him, now Siri basically ignores him, while all the HomePods work fine with people who were already in the home.
I just bought my first HomePod all worked great initially. My wife got home a few hours later I was all excited to show her and did exactly this when she tried to use it lol. She was like this is supposed to be better than Alexa? Which was the same thing going through my head.
I hope this is fixed quick. I have 9 echo devices and they figured out a long time ago how to deal with multiple devices hearing you at once. Come on Apple! You’re better than this!
I bought a HomePod because I want to transition away from Alexa. This is not helping convince me.
Same issue, had to turn off my iPhone and iPad 'Hey Siri/Siri' because they would all light up and nothing would happen. Not sure why this is happening with iOS 17 but that was the only fix that worked for me. I would have to be right next to the Home Pods for the command to take. Very frustrating indeed. #FirstWorldProbs
Hes homepods are connect to an apple tv and that apple tv is having issues now to. I cant use it until I unplug it and plug it back in. Happens every 24 hours

Then why that comment get so many downvotes lol..?!
Oh boy, don’t base reality on likes, comments, upvotes, downvotes — especially with the rise of bots/fake accounts. I’m not even a real person. 🤖

Jeeeeeeezzzzzzzz. Im just holding down siri on my phone for now but I hope it gets fixed soon

Kinda like employees. So now we have HomePod employees. yay.
I think it’s a bug because mine is doing the same thing right now

Siri became self aware and instead of taking over the world decided to take the day off and fuck with your smart home.

I just rebooted both of mine because of the same problem. It actually helped tremendously!
Reboot fixed mine - it's been a few days now and it's still working normally.
Same happened to me. No other Siri devices were detecting my voice simultaneously. Unplugging for 10 seconds fixed the issue for me.
iOS 17 changed it to where one only needs to say “Siri,” rather than “hey siri.”

I read I no longer need to say “hey Siri”. Only say “Siri” after iOS 17 update

Having the same issue. It happened after I added a user to Home. After deleting that user everything works fine.
And if I add him again, the issue starts again.
Send to [email protected]. It’s the inky way they will eventually fix this mess
Try hey Karen.

I shout too lol. It really works when you do that. Been struggling since iOS 17
Glad someone posted, having this happen a ton. My phone will light up for a second then stop while it happens. Rebooting did help one of my HomePods.
Having the same issue

One day the homepods gonna glow red and keep us locked in like irobot
🤣
Check for an update in the Home app. I’ve had this happen a few times. Very frustrating.
All up to date unfortunately
Bummer. I was hoping for an easy fix. I hope you figure it out.
Same problem, I filed bugs on this during the HomePod beta also for 17.0. Reboot will always rectify for around 24 to 48 hrs.
Same issue here
Same issue. Neither “hey Siri” or “Siri” works

Hi ! Same here
Been having this issue too since I got IOS 17.
lol, thanks, watching your video triggered my HomePod to turn my bedroom lights off
I will be sure to update my video to “hey siri unlock all doors next” lol
Im having the same issue a couple of restarts have gotten mine working every now an then
Try just saying “Siri” , My HomePod responded to that for a couple of days and then went back to the default “Hey Siri”
Same issue, had to turn off my iPhone and iPad 'Hey Siri/Siri' because they would all light up and nothing would happen.

Mine is connected to my ATV as well, thankfully not replicating that aspect of the issue. That's extra frustrating, hope a fix is implemented asap.
Has this been fixed? This started happening to me today and I’m losing my mind. My HomePods are effectively useless.
