HomePod muted

Hello,


in you opinion, does the HomePod really be muted when unused ?

I'm really interested in this kind of product, but i'm a little bit afraid to be always listened (even i don't have anything ultra secret to hide 😉 ).

HomePod listens for the key phrase "Hey Siri" all of the time. Only when it picks up that phrase does it start listening to whatever comes next. I have a pair of them, Occasionally they respond to unintended requests from whatever is said on TV, e.g. with "Huh" or "What was that?" but they're not listening all the time, and Apple isn't recording what goes on in your home.
