Answer 1

Answer

I am using it in Czechia and everything works great. Siri works like on the iPhone (no additional or lesser fuctions), Apple Music works, calling, messages, HomeKit, etc. work as expected

Answer 5

Best Answer:

Yes. HomePod appears as an AirPlay 2 speaker. However, if you are using it as the actual speaker for your Mac (meaning all audio output), stereo pairs are not supported, and you would have to choose a specific speaker. iTunes can stream to speakers as both a stereo pair and as an individual speaker. You can also access all setting for HomePod via the Home app on Mac.

Answer 6

Answer

Via AirPlay from an iPhone, iPad or Mac using a radio player like TuneIn. From the autumn ios13 will add multiple radio stations to the HomePod so you can play them direct like you can with Alexa on an Echo.

Answer 8

Answer

You can take the homepod with you, to anywhere (friend's house or some where else with the PLUG) it doesn't have portable function like other wireless speaker. as long as you phone connect to the private network (friend's house wifi, office's wifi)
Then the speaker will work perfectly (check out in the Apple HOME app)
I like to bring it to friend house, he had 1, I had another one, Pair them together and perform a STEREO mode which is AWESOME !!!

yes you can use the Home pod with Apple TV to stream the sound to the home pod. But the volume is not very loud. At full volume it's the ok. However the sound quality is very good. I wish there was a way to make it louder...

Answer 11

Answer

Unknown as to the maximum number of HomePods, it would likely be dependant on the quality of your Wi-Fi network.

In saying that, I have played the same music on 8 HomePods at the same time without any issues.

Answer 12

Answer

Yes. You can play music from any source, although you won´t be able to just say ¨Hey Siri, play ..... ¨ as you could with Apple Music. You would launch the other music service´s. app and airplay to the homepod. I do that all the time with another specialty music service. With the Homepod you get the good sound regardless of the source.

If you are using the DirecTV app on an Apple TV and set HomePod as the audio output, yes. You cannot use HomePod as speakers for a set top box though.

Answer 15

Best Answer:

Yes, it can, but you must complete “iTunes Match” first, so that your music is available in the cloud. Once you have done that, and the HomePod(s) are linked to the same Apple account as the iTunes Match, Siri can access your entire library and you can ask Siri to play certain songs, certain albums, to shuffle all songs, or songs of a specific genre, or a specific artist as well as any of your playlists. It’s really great!
