The HomePod Mini will never support Dolby Atmos. It only has 1 speaker so is unable to do directional audio.
If you have automatic updating on then switch that off. Reset your HomePod and then in the Home app, do a check for updates
For some weird reason, the Home app on my Mac agreed to update it, while on my iPhone the Home app continued to say there was no update available 🤷♂️
Server issues I guess

I would suggest trying again tomorrow when things have calmed down a little
All of my minis have updated. But my full fat HomePod will not update. I fully reset it and it still says it’s up-to-date on 14.4. Given up on it now. Sick to death of the amount of time we have to piss about with Apple software these days.
All of mine have now updatedthey must have pulled it briefly
they must have pulled it briefly
Do you have Automatic Updates turned on?
Yeah will try that because I did try resetting the homepod and still shows version 14.4..so not sure what is going on
Yeah I have the fat homepod as well still stuck on 14.4 says "All accessories up to date" just wont update
I have 2 minis and 3 OGs.
By switching ‘off’ Automatic Updates, then restarting all 5 HomePods, all of them are now finally ‘Downloading’ … but they have been stuck downloading for almost 2 hours.
I am going to keep waiting, at least for another hour or two, before re-enabling Automatic Updates.
yeah something is off about this update..will just see what happens tomorrow..maybe all this hassle means it should not be installed right now. I remember there was one homepod update that caused some homepods to brick good thing I didnt install it..hope this one is not the case
You may need to reset them again as mine was stuck on downloading for ages and a reset kicked them into life
I saw it posted elsewhere that if you enable "Sound check" that after a few seconds the update prompts..might test that out just for funzies
Got it to update..go to settings by holding onto the homepod icon and turn ON sound check..once that happens you will be prompted to update your homepod to version 14.5 worked perfectly
Ok I got mine to update. The trick for me was holding on the individual HomePod and going into the HomePod settings and updating from there. Not updating from the “Software Update” section of your Home Settings.
That worked. That’s just crazy. This update has been the only glitchy HomePod update I’ve encountered.
I saw the trick on reddit so gotta give credit where credit is due
I honestly have no clue what "Sound check" has to do with well, anything..mine has been set to "off" since day one I never touched it heck I dont even know what it is all about lol
