Apple HomePod 15.5 Software Update Released To HomePod Smart Speakers

Along with iOS 15.5, iPadOS 15.5, and tvOS 15.5, Apple today released a new 15.5 update for the HomePod and HomePod mini. The HomePod 15.5 upgrade is the fifth significant HomePod software update since version 15 was launched, and it comes two months after the release of HomePod software 15.4.

Apple has not specified what improvements might be included in the new HomePod software, as the company’s release notes make no mention of anything other than general performance and stability improvements. This could mean that this is an under-the-hood update to address underlying issues rather than a feature update.

‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌The latest HomePod‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌ update is installed automatically on the ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌device unless the feature is disabled‌‌‌‌, but the ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌HomePod‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌ can also be manually updated in the Home app by following the instructions down below.

• Open the Home app on your iPhone or iPad.
• Tap on the home icon in the upper left corner of the display.
• Now all the devices in your network will be visible. If you have multiple HomePods set up, scroll and choose the desired one.
• Scroll down to “Software Update.”
• Pull down from the top of the iPhone or iPad screen to check for an update.

If an update is available, all you have to do is hit the “Install” button to update your HomePod. If you have multiple HomePods in your home, this software update option will update them all at the same time.
