Strange notification from Homepod

Received very strange notification from my Homepod today, never seen something like this before:


Is it something I should worry about? :-)

HomePod, 15

It’s a new feature on iOS 15.2. I was getting too many notifications and turned it off. If I was living with others I’d keep it on because they could have Siri read your messages and mess around with things. It’s a security feature. Something Apple is good at!

It means you asked the livingroom HomePod to make (or receive) a phone call. If it wasn’t you it might be concerning but can only make or receive calls with your iPhone.


There’s a way to disable the notifications in the home app- home settings - your name- personal requests- activity notifications
