Is there any way to assigned different user under "personal request" on homepods. I own 4 homepods, but i want my bedrrom homepod to respond to my personal information, and the one in the living room to respond to another user in the house. Is this possible?
Got a tip for us?

HomePod supports multiple users, I don’t think you can just assign a HomePod to one person.

Set up voice recognition on HomePod or HomePod mini - Apple Support
Siri on HomePod and HomePod mini can recognize multiple voices, so everyone in your home can enjoy personalized music and media. And you can do even more when you enable Personal Requests, like send messages and make phone calls.
I think 14.3 only allows you to access someone’s music if it doesn’t Match a voice.
My problem is that my mom does not speak English. So there is a certain HomePod in the house in Spanish. That HomePod does not recognize voices.
What I really need is to assign a particular HomePod to a particular user in the house, so that person can get phone calls and texts in that HomePod. As of right now the only thing that I see in setting is that when I turn on personal request it uses my phone. Not anybody else’s.

I think your only solution would be for her to set up her own home and add the home pod to her home and not yours.
