Like iPhones, iPads, Macs, the Apple Watch, and the Apple TV, the HomePod and HomePod mini are updated with new software on a regular basis. The most recent update was released on March 7, and enables Siri to learn what your preferred media service is.
By default, updates are installed on your HomePod devices automatically, but there’s also a way to force an update if new software is released. However, Apple’s auto-update function isn’t typically immediate, so it can sometimes be handy to have a way to manually install software when you know an update has become available.
