HomePod says to connect to same network as iOS devi e to send text but it is?

Hello!!!

• The first step you could try is to head over to the "Home" App on your fiancé’s phone
• click on the "arrow" at the top left side on the app
• if you look at the "People" section you will see her icon click on it
• now you will see a section called "Siri on HomePod" with a "Personal Request" toggle button, turn it on and on then try sending a text.

If this dose not work try unplugging the HomePod and turn off the phone wait 30 seconds then plug the HomePod back in and turn on the phone and see if this works now.

(If this dose not work try using Siri on the phone to see if its a issue on the phones end.)

If all else is not working maybe try resetting the HomePod might be needed.

• On your iOS device, open the Home app.
• In the Home or Rooms tab, press and hold HomePod, then tap Details.
• Scroll to the bottom and tap Remove Accessory.

Tried all of this, no luck 😟

Edit: The solution for me was the following:

Navigate to Home App -> Press Location icon in top left -> Select user Icon -> Select hyper link under personal request.

Then I had to select the iOS device that I share my location from.

@jerlan This worked for me! I had to go Home app > Location arrow > People > iCloud settings link under Personal Requests > Select “this iPhone” from my list of devices. Wow - that was really buried. Thank you!!

I tried all of these recommended fixes and none of them worked. The only thing that worked was updating my iPhone's software to iOS 11.2.6, which I had been putting off, since the upgrades of late seem to cause as many problems as they fix. It was recommended for various fixes, including one that allowed "third party" apps to connect to devices. It seems that it also allowed Apple to connect its own devices to each other. In any event, it seems to work for now. However, with my iPhone X, I am afraid I am in for a lot of other nasty side effects from the upgrade according to Forbes. 😟

Thanks for the reply. For me, unplugging and replugging was able to sort everything out. Happy listening!

Try to reset the connection between, and sync with her phone ag
