Intercom setting on HomePod Mini

My Intercom setting is sent to receive Notifications NEVER and I am not given any other options and cannot change this. What can I do to change this setting?

This might help - it worked for me and there seem to be others here who found it fixed this issue:


On your iPhone go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Home

Choose the setting While Using App


Go over to the Home app. You should see that this action has allowed the choice to use Intercom either When I’m Home OR Anywhere. Without this change in Location Services setting the only option offered is 'Never'.

What is the version of the firmware on the HomePod mini?


If you follow these instructions....


Manage your settings

To choose when your device receives Intercom notifications, select which members of your Home have access to Intercom, and choose which HomePod speakers use Intercom:

  1. Open the Home app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. 
  2. Tap Home  > Home Settings. 
  3. Tap Intercom. Choose your Intercom settings. 
  4. Tap Back, then tap Done.


Do you not see this display?



In particular do you see the options Never, When I'm Home and Anywhere listed, or something else? Have you enabled yourself in the People area?
