This year, Apple upgraded a new feature for HomePod, that is, it can use the broadcast function. For example, when we are outside, we can send a broadcast to the HomePod speakers at home on our mobile phones to tell people at home relevant information. How to use this function specifically? The editor is here to give you a brief introduction, I hope it will be helpful to you, friends in need are welcome to refer to the operation!
Specific steps are as follows
1. To realize the "broadcast" function on HomePod, one of the first prerequisites is to upgrade your HomePod firmware version to 14 or above. You can check it in the HomePod settings in the "Home" application. If your HomePod version is lower than 14, then please download and update the latest firmware in the settings first.
2. In the setting interface of HomePod, you can see that there is a "broadcast" option, just open it.
3. Of course, we can also choose when to broadcast according to our own situation, as shown in the figure.
4. After opening "Broadcast" on HomePod, we can then use the broadcast function in other devices that have joined the same family, such as Apple mobile phones, iPads and other devices. As shown in the picture below, I can directly activate the Siri voice assistant and tell it to "tell everyone XXXX information".
5. Of course, we can also broadcast directly in the "home" application. You can see a sound wave icon in the upper right corner of the home app, click to continue.
6. Next, you can say what you want to say. When you're done, click the "Finish" button, and then the words we just said will be sent to the HomePod speaker that has "Broadcast" enabled.
7. This function is suitable for people who are outside and want to tell family members some information. For example, you can use this broadcast function to tell family members that you are almost home.
