Hey Siri Not Working on HomePod? Follow the Solutions

When Siri stops working or not responding to your voice command on HomePod, the entire idea of using Apple smart speaker turns a damp squib. HomePod is a smart speaker and the only way to interact with it is to speak your Siri commands. Agreed that you can control your HomePod with touch gestures, but there are limitations. For the most part, you have to use Siri, and when Siri is not working on HomePod, you need to take some quick actions.

Normally, Siri doesn’t understand your command and therefore, Siri is not answering on HomePod. Note that Siri on HomePod is not connected with a web browser, and therefore, it is not replying all your questions. This doesn’t mean Siri has some issues or it is broken; the intelligent voice assistant cannot work the way you use it on your iPhone or iPad.
