HomePod Want to invoke SIRI on Homepod but SIRI on the device gets triggered ?

[marcusalwayswins]

Hi Guys,

I have the Homepod in a room which happens to also be my work area in my home so my device is also always around me in that same room. So whenever I want to summon SIRI on my Homepod invariably SIRI on the device gets triggered. What is the solution for this ? isnit true that If I keep my device facing downwards SIRI on my device won't listen to the request and hence not get triggered ?

ya our Siri's have become deaf. you really have to yell to get them to hear you.

Generally HomePod will preferentially respond if multiple devices are nearby, but not always. Yes, turning your iPhone face down will prevent it from responding to Hey Siri.

But it doesn't work always. Infact never for me !!
