Homepod 16.3 Release Date: Now Rolling Out, Here’s Everything

HomePod Software 16.3 Release Date: New features

HomePod software version 16.3 with build number 2A1467 is currently going out. Apple saved the HomePod software 16.3 updates for today even though it released iOS 16.3, macOS 13.2, and watchOS 9.3 yesterday.

Additionally, Apple is now releasing tvOS 16.3 for the Apple TV. Nearly two years ago, Bloomberg revealed that the HomePod mini had a temperature and humidity sensor that wasn’t being used.

According to the source, the sensor may be turned on by a software update, and Apple is now doing that. According to today’s update, users of the HomePod Mini may now access temperature and humidity information in the iPhone’s Home app.

• If your friends and family have given their whereabouts to you, you can now use Find My on HomePod to ask Sir where they are if they have.

• When intelligent home requests are fulfilled for accessories that might not immediately reflect a change or are in another room, a Siri confirmation tone will now play to let you know.
• For HomePod (2nd generation) and HomePod, audio tuning enhances spoken content, such as podcasts, for even more transparent reproduction (1st generation)
• HomePod’s first-generation volume controls have been updated to provide more precise adjustments at lower volumes.

• Due To Technical Problems, Apple Pay Later Might Not Come Out Until 2023

Additionally, Apple claims that Sound Recognition, a function previously praised by Apple for the new full-size HomePod, will soon be supported by the HomePod small. However, because this feature isn’t anticipated to go live until later this spring, it’s unlikely to be a part of today’s software updates.

By opening the Home app on your iPhone, selecting your HomePod from the list of available devices, and checking for the software update download, you may update your first-generation HomePod or your HomePod mini to software version 16.3.
