If you have recently purchased a HomePod or have never fully investigated its functions, you may be unaware of some settings such as changing the language. Communicating with this speaker in a known language is essential to put it to good use, since the voice is the main instrument with which we can manage it. That is why in this post we tell you how you can change the language of the HomePod.
Set the language on HomePod
The HomePod, as a general rule, is configured in the same language as the iPhone despite the fact that it has been purchased abroad. However, it may happen that it is working in a language that is not yours. Although the fact of changing it can also help you to practice a new language that you are learning, although you must know what commands are used in that language.
- Open the Home app on your iPhone.
- Go to the device list.
- Press on the HomePod icon for a long time.
- Go to the Siri section and click on ” Language ” to choose another.
Once you have done this, the HomePod will not only recognize the voice commands you give in that language, but will also communicate with you in it. Of course, you will have to wait for the change process to finish, since you will have to download the corresponding data package and this could take a few minutes depending on your internet connection.
This speaker is capable of recognizing almost any language in the world, although it cannot be said that it has all the languages that exist in the world. If you cannot find the desired language in these settings, it is because the device is not capable of working in it yet, so you will have to wait for it to be translated. If your language is very common and you cannot find it, it is possible that it is a bug, so you will have to contact Apple to solve it.
Is the language of the iPhone also changed?
One of the doubts that changes the language of the HomePod is if the same will happen on the iPhone and the truth is that the settings of this are not changed to do it on the speaker. The iOS system differentiates the configuration from one and the other, so you can continue using your iPhone in the same language that you had, even if it is not the same as that of the HomePod.
If you also want to change the language of the iPhone on the way, you can do it from Settings> General> Language and region . In this section you must click on “iPhone Language” , without changing the region. In this way your mobile will also change languages and, again, the speaker settings will not change either.
So, you already know a new way to change the settings of your HomePod to your liking. Remember that from this same application available on the iPhone you can manage other settings for your speaker, being able to customize it even more and make it work completely to your liking.
