It seems that after the last 15.5 update of the HomePod and HomePod mini software there was a problem when playing music. and Apple has just fixed it with a new update, the 15.5.1which corrects this error.
So your Apple speaker is going to receive a new version of its software today. If you have had this last week any unexpected stoppage when playing songsIt will be resolved today.
Less than an hour ago Apple released a new update, 15.5.1, for the HomePod and the home pod minijust a week and a half after the release of software version 15.5.
And it has been a new update so often after the previous one because it seems that some users of the two Apple speaker models had had problems listening to music. Specifically, playback stopped after a few seconds of being started, just like that. An inconceivable error in a device designed precisely to listen to music.
This bug has been fixed as indicated in the notes of this new software version: the HomePod update 15.5.1 addresses an issue that could cause music to stop playing after a short time after starting playback.
You do not have to do anything. The HomePod software updates automatically on HomePod unless the feature is disabled. But if you want to make sure, from the “Home” application on your iPhone you can “force” your HomePod to update.
Given the rush that has been taken from Cupertino to launch this new software update for the HomePod and HomePod mini, it means that the error has been quite widespread, and they have had no choice but to take action on the matter and correct it as soon as possible.
