Start your day

Set an alarm on HomePod and wake up to your favourite morning tune or soothing ambient sounds. To keep the good vibes going all day, just say โ€œHey Siri, play something upbeatโ€. With an Apple Music subscription, there are more than 100 million songs at your command, plus support on HomePod for other music services.

Get updates on your weather, news, calendar events and more while you get ready. Just say โ€œHey Siri, whatโ€™s my update?โ€

Unwind after work

If you unwind to music or podcasts on your evening stroll, keep listening when you get home by holding your iPhone near the top of HomePod. Or play a personalised selection created just for you by Apple Music. Say โ€œHey Siri, play some relaxing musicโ€.

Use HomePod as you prepare dinner. Say โ€œHey Siri, set a 12-minute pizza timerโ€ or โ€œHey Siri, how many cups are in a pint?โ€ And with more than one HomePod, you can bring everyone to the table by saying โ€œHey Siri, intercom โ€˜Dinner is ready!โ€™โ€

Use Siri for information

Time for bed

As you wind down for the night, listen to ambient sounds. Say โ€œHey Siri, play rain soundsโ€. To make sure it doesnโ€™t play all night, say โ€œHey Siri, stop playing in 30 minutesโ€. And remember to say โ€œHey Siri, set an alarm for 7 oโ€™clock tomorrowโ€.

Before you retire for the evening, say โ€œHey Siri, good nightโ€ to run a scene you created in the Home app that turns off all the lights, locks the front door and lowers the temperature. Sweet dreams.
