Those of you having issues with Siri on the HomePod, especially with personal requests, I suggest switching back to “Hey Siri.” This was driving me up a wall.

The other day I made a couple requests with just the “Siri” command. One was to find my iPhone and the other was to call my wife. Both times it asked who I was followed by I will have to unlock my iPhone first. This completely defeats the purpose. When I said, “Hey Siri” it completed the task without issue. I switched all my HomePods to just listen for the “Hey Siri” command.

Should’ve known a new feature would not work.
