Reset HomePod or HomePod mini - Apple Support

Unplug HomePod or unplug the power adapter for HomePod mini. Wait 10 seconds, then plug HomePod back in.

  1. Wait 10 seconds, then touch your finger to the top of HomePod and hold it there.
  2. The white spinning light will turn red. Keep your finger down. 
  3. Siri will say that your HomePod is about to reset. When you hear three beeps, you can lift your finger.


  • After you reset HomePod, set up HomePod again. You should update your iPhone to iOS 17.0.1 before proceeding.
