Pavel Jelic Use Siri
You can perfectly control your HomePod mini with the help of the Siri voice assistant. To specify how to control HomePod mini with the help of Siri, launch the application on your iPhone Household, click on the HomePod mini card and run it Settings. In the section Crab then you can set whether Siri on your HomePod mini will be activated by voice, what it will sound like, whether it will activate light and sound when you use it, and other details.
Audio transfer between devices
The sound from the HomePod mini will always sound better than the sound played through your iPhone's speakers. If all your devices are signed in to the same iCloud account, you can quickly and easily stream audio from your iPhone to HomePod mini once you get within a certain distance. You activate this function on your iPhone v Settings -> General -> AirPlay and Handoff, where you activate the item Forward to HomePod.
HomePod as an intercom
If your household has several members, you can also use the HomePod mini to communicate with each other, which can also serve as an intercom. First launch the native app on your iPhone Household, click on the HomePod mini card and run it Settings. In the section Intercom then activate the intercom function and specify the details of its use.
Disable history
If multiple members of your household use the HomePod mini, including listening to music, you may not want what you've been playing on the HomePod to be reflected in the recommended content in the Apple Music app. To disable history, run on your iPhone native Home application, long press HomePod tab and run it Settings. After that, all you have to do is deactivate the item Update playback history.
Search for songs by lyrics
You can do quite a lot with Siri on your HomePod mini, despite the fact that it still doesn't speak Czech. One of the features that Siri on HomePod offers is the ability to search for a song by its lyrics. Just say "Hey Siri, play the song that goes [snippet]".
