HomePod still won’t recognize my voice

I feel I have tried just about everything at this point to get the HomePod to recognize my voice. I have set up recognize my voice on the Home app several times now. I have reinstalled the app, I have reset the HomePod itself, and I have looked into the settings of the owner as well and made myself and admin for the home. I have also made sure the HomePod and the home app is updated and I have updated my phone to the latest software. What other solutions are there to get Siri to recognize my voice?

Hi krusssy,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities! Great work troubleshooting so far. Since Siri is not recognizing your voice, give these steps a try in this order, even if you've performed some of them before. Be sure to test it out after each step:


  1. "Reset Recognize My Voice: In the Home app, tap Home  in the upper-left corner, then tap Home Settings. Tap your name under People, then turn Recognize My Voice off then on. Wait a few minutes before trying Siri again. 
  2. Restart the iPhoneiPad, or iPod touch that you use with "Hey Siri."
  3. Restart your HomePod mini or HomePod.
  4. Set up "Hey Siri" again: On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Siri & Search, then turn Listen for "Hey Siri" off then on, and follow onscreen instructions to teach Siri your voice. 
  5. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Siri & Search, and make sure that it's set to the same language as your HomePod. 

If you have two Apple IDs in your home that have "Hey Siri" set up with the same voice, you might need to turn off Recognize My Voice on one account."


These steps are recommended to follow when Siri doesn't recognize you in the article Set up voice recognition on HomePod mini or HomePod.

Should the behavior continue after the above steps, contact Apple Support for further assistance: Apple Support.


Cheers!
