HomePod won't send text messages since iOS13 upgrade

Since I updated my iPhone X to iOS13, my Homepod won't send a text message. It responds to Hey Siri, will make a phone call, play music etc but when I ask it to send a text the colour spins on the to for a second then goes back to playing the music.


I've unplugged it overnight and plugged it in again and done a reboot on my phone but still no joy.


Any ideas?

Yeah I'm already on 13.1.1 and had rebooted the Pod several times with no joy.


So in the end I was getting so frustrated that I removed the Pod from the Home App, did a factory re-set and set it up again, seems fine now.

I spoke too soon!!


It's not sending them again! I've not changed anything!! So frustrating! HomePod will do everything else ... it will make phone calls ... but when I ask it to send a text it just glows for a few seconds then reverts to playing the music it was already playing!


I rectified it last time by factory resetting and linking to my phone again surely I don't have to do this every time I want to use it?!!!!!
