Is Low Data Mode affect to HomePod?

When I enable Low Data Mode for a Wifi Connection through iPhone, if the HomePod connects to the same WiFi, does the HomePod stream low quality music through Apple Music? Or does the HomePod stream high quality music regardless of the Low Data Mode?

HomePod, 13

Hello,

HomePod does not utilize Low Data Mode.

HomePod request = AirPlay on iPhone? With a recent HomePod OS upgrade in the past few months I notice something weird. If I request a song from my HomePod via “hey Siri” the song will play on my HomePod, but it will also initiate Airplay from the nearest iPhone in my ecosystem. So if I ask my HomePod to play “I Am The Walrus”, it will play.... but I’ll notice it’s being played from my iPhone connected to WiFi. This was never the case before as the HomePod played music independently from any other device. Why must I turn off WiFi on all my iPhones and iPads if I don’t want that to happen????? Also, I would have thought the latest HomePod OS update would’ve fixed that. NOPE!!!!

Does the quality selector works when playing on a HomePod? I am using iPad to stream Apple Music to the HomePod. Does the quality settings in the app influence the quality of the music play via HomePod? Or will the HomePod always play the best quality music by default?
