My Homepod mini simply won't run shortcuts after software update 15.7(iPhone/iPad) 16.0(Homepod mini)

I just updated all my iOs devices (iphone, ipad, homepod mini) when I try to run any shortcut(stored on my iPad) from my homepod mini simply said "Oh Oh... There's a problem, please try again" or "Sorry something's wrong, please try again" or "Sorry something gone wrong..." or "I have a bit of trouble here...",

Just to mention that I'm asking because this functionality worked fine before the update and all devices are under same apple id, same Wifi, Personal Requests are On, Find My... is On on iPhone/iPad... And my iPad is set as additional home hub... IDK what else I need to set... Very disappointing situation.

SOLVED: @tt2 is right… I just setup my Homepod mini v.16.x with my iPhone iOs v.16.x with “Personal Requests”: On… and now it works with shortcuts through my homepod…


MY CONCLUSION: Siri doesn’t access the shortcuts across the devices under same account… it strictly run shortcuts under the device used for setup and under same software version.

A new Apple ID is only going to complicate matters. Any existing purchases and settings are tied to your old one.

I don't think a new Apple will be complicate matters , originally I have created a new Apple ID only for iPad Pro and HomePod mini which allows me to use HomePod mini Siri to run the shortcut from iPad Pro, both of them are share the same wifi with same Apple ID that all. I have not purchased or do anything with this account, run the shortcut to control my home device is the only purpose to this Apple ID account and everything was working fine until this update 5.7(iPad Pro) with 16.0(Homepod mini) . so I just delete my home pod mini from my old Apple ID account , and I setup everything again like last time, still no lucky, I believe Apple just blocked this feature on homepod mini 16 version.
