HomePod 15.2 Breaks Location Services

After upgrading my four HomePods to 15.2 location services no longer work. If I ask Siri what the weather is, she'll say "weather for where?" Location services are turned on for every HomePod. Location services are turned on in General settings, and turned on for HomeKit and the Home App. Location services are turned on in AppleTV. I have restarted my router and every device. I have reset network settings and location and privacy settings on every device. The problem persists. If I ask Siri where I am she says "First you have to tell me where you are." She instructs me to turn on location services in the home settings of the home app, but there is no location services switch there.


Every time the OS is updated something breaks. It's incredibly frustrating.

HomePod, 15

Finally figured it out!

What you need to do is update your iOS to 15.2

Once you do so, open the home app and you will get a pop up asking to enable location services for HomePod. You will also get the missing location services toggle in the home app.
