Earlier this week, Apple released Update 13.2 for the HomePod, an update that caused some users to make the device will crash and stop working completelyWhich forced Apple to withdraw the update.
For a few hours, the guys from Cupertino have released version 13.2.1 for the HomePod, solving crashing problems. In order to install this update, as long as we have a HomePod, we must do it through the Home application as usual in updates for this device.
We found the problem that the update presented during the update process, a process that stopped leaving the device unusable. While some users claimed that the device displayed a rotating white light on top of the device, in other cases it displayed a steady red light. In both cases, the device was completely unusable and there was no way to factory set it.
What's new in the new HomePod update
The novelties offered by the new update for the HomePod are exactly the same as that we could find in the version that was launched at the beginning of the week and where it stands out as the main novelty, the possibility of being able to transfer calls, music or podcast directly to the HomePod by bringing the iPhone closer.
Other novelties offered by this update are the ambient sounds, sounds that allow us to enjoy white noise ideal for falling asleep. In addition to allowing us to fall asleep, this update adds the option to set a timer to schedule the automatic shutdown of the device.
In the United States, this update also includes the multi-user mode, a mode that allows you to recognize up to six different voices in the same home that allows you to offer different information depending on the user who interacts with it, either through messages, contacts, calls or even the different Apple Music playlists.
How do you access the ambient sounds? Thanks
Any info on when multi-user mode will hit the rest of the world?
At the moment we do not know when it will be available in more languages. It can be in a week or in several months. As soon as we know it we will inform you.
Greetings.
