Not sure if this really is the right place but didn't know where to put it.

This evening all voice commands on HomePods, Watch and Apple TV error 100% of the time no matter what I do. I can't ask for the weather, set timers, do anything. They still work fine on iPhone and iPad.

My iPhone is running the latest developer beta 16.6, my watch is running the latest developer beta 9.6. They were working fine a couple of hours ago and now nothing.

I've done the usual restarting all devices. Even updated the HomePods to the developer beta 17 but made no difference. I disconnected my phone and watch from my home broadband to fall back onto cellular just in case it was that but no difference.

Edit: to add, the watch errors with "sorry can you say that again", the HomePods error with "this is taking too long" and the Apple TV errors with "something went wrong. Please try again". Also whilst I can start music on the HomePods from my iPad, the HomePod button likely won't work and will error.

Anyone else having issues? TIA.

I was having the same experience all day. My watch couldn’t even set a timer via Siri :mad:

Absolutely, that was one of the issues I was having. I kept checking Apple's service status pages but no errors were showing there. I am in the UK but my friends were not having the same issues as me so it does seem to be very isolated...?
