Apple Seeds Second HomePod Software 16 Public Beta

Apple today released the second HomePod Software 16 update for its public beta testing group, with the new software coming a little over two weeks after the first public beta (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/07/11/apple-releases-first-public-beta-of-tvos-16/). This is the first HomePod beta that Apple has provided to public beta testers.

The HomePod Software 16 update can be downloaded from Apple's beta site (https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/enroll#homepod-software) after installing the iOS 16 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-16/) or iPadOS 16 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipados-16/) software updates. From there, users will need to go to the Home app, select the Settings option, and choose Software Update.



HomePod users with the &zwnj;iOS 16&zwnj; or &zwnj;iPadOS 16&zwnj; update can then enroll their HomePod mini (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/homepod-mini/) in the beta program. It is worth noting that the beta is only available on the &zwnj;HomePod mini&zwnj;, and it cannot be installed on the larger and now-discontinued HomePod.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: HomePod mini (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/homepod-mini/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: HomePod Mini (Neutral) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Homepod-Mini)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: HomePod, HomeKit, CarPlay, Home & Auto Technology (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/homepod-homekit-carplay-home-auto-technology.193)</div>
