Change Wi-Fi networks

Reference:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208341#homepod

"Change Wi-Fi networks

Tap Wi-Fi Address to see the Wi-Fi Network that HomePod is connected to. If it's on a different Wi-Fi network than your iOS device, tap "Move HomePod to [Wi-Fi network]" to connect HomePod to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device."

_____________________________________________

According to the link above - text from that page, one can change the HomePod network to the same as of one's IPhone/IPad through the Home app, without having to reset it.

My Home app, on both IPhone and Ipad, does not have present this option or behave this way when I go into the HomePod settings. I am on IOS 13.6.

Has anyone seen the Home app work this way?

Someone from Apple could please clarify why this article lists functionality that we do not have in the software?

Thank you.

I can’t test this because mine is working.

in the home app - long press on your HomePod, tap the gear icon - lower right - scroll down to wifi Address, which is almost at the very bottom, tap on that and hopefully “ move homepod” should come up.

Note: it does not show this when on the same network, the address with change to the name of your network when you tap on it. So if you see the correct network it might have changed itself already. Try asking a personal request to see if it’s working.

If this is a stereo pair tap on Speakers and select each one
