HomePod My neighbors' HomePod keeps showing up on my devices

[eicca]

Title says it all. I can see (and sometimes control, just for fun) my neighbors' HomePod on my devices. I know for a fact they're not connected to my WiFi because I've changed the network name and password and the 'pod still shows up in audio output or speakerphone options.

How/why is it showing up to being with, and how do I get rid of it?

Most likely because they have this setting set to 'Everyone' which means the devices show up for anybody who is nearby...

I also have the same issue with a neighbour's Apple TV - annoyingly there isn't a way to hide it as far as I know.

edited my post as it was junk. lol

Would be easiest to tell the neighbour about above option and suggest they change it.....saying it would stop any random folks doing stuff.

Record a message saying that and play it on repeat to their homepod
