Apple releases first HomePod software update alongside iOS 11.3
Alongside the public release of iOS 11.3 today Apple has rolled-out their first HomePod software update, vaguely adding “general improvements” to their Siri equiped home smart speaker.
Unfortunately, the latest update to HomePod doesn’t include AirPlay 2, the most anticipated feature audiophiles were expecting from this software release. – AirPlay 2 will allow users to connect two HomePod’s together for simultaneous audio playback.
Apple simply notes that their latest update to the HomePod software “includes general improvements for stability and quality.”
How to update HomePod software
To update your HomePod you must have the latest version of iOS (iOS 11.3) installed on the device connected to your speaker, either that be your iPhone or iPad. Once this has been done, open the Home app on your device and tap the Location arrow in the upper right hand corner which will give you the option to select Software Update.
