Multiple users for a single iphone and homepod

My parents both share the same iphone and homepod. Is there a way to set it up so that Siri and the homepod recognizes both of their voices to answer and make calls and text messages? It use to work but a recent update now only recognizes one person.

Adding a second voice to an Apple HomePod Mini My wife is neither a computer user nor a cell phone caller; we are both advanced seniors who do not text. Our HomePod Mini is set up with my voice to operate NanoLeaf smart bulbs in our bedroom. We cannot as yet add her voice, as she has no Apple ID. If we were using either Google or Amazon comparable smart speakers, there would be no problem, as a separate ID would not be necessary to add a second persson's voice. Is there a workaround that would enable her to register her voice, or must I replace my HomePod with a comparable Google or Amazon device? Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

How do you set up multi-user functionality on HomePod running iOS 13.2.1? Now that the HomePod supports multiple users, how do you set it up? I haven’t been able to find any information or documentation. We share a HomePod in our apartment and when the owner of the HomePod opened his Home app after updating it prompted him to set up Siri, but it hasn’t done anything else to allow us to set it up for me to use. The HomePod is running iOS 13.2.1 and all of our iPhones are running iOS 13.2.

Best way to set up HomePod mini for a family intercom I want to set up three HomePod minis in my house. One in the living room/kitchen and one each of my children's room. The main purpose is for the intercom function. I have two questions. Do I set up each HomePod mini using my iPhone or the main HomePod mini with my phone and the other two homed minis with my children's iPhones? I do not want them to be able to disable the intercom ability. When I broadcast a message and my kids are wearing their apple AirPods pros, will the broadcast message go to their AirPods Pros?

You should turn off the recognize my voice feature in HomePod settings. See Set up multiple users on HomePod - Apple Support. Home app > Home > Home Settings > User Profile under People > Recognize My Voice > Off. Multiple users implies multiple Apple IDs and multiple devices.
