February 19, 2022 by Hemant Saxena

How to fix Homepod Siri fails to recognize your voice?

Just to make sure things are working as desired, Siri might ask you who you are from time to time. You can choose to respond with your name, or simply request something by saying, “Hey Siri, this is [your name]” or “Hey Siri, who am I?” If Siri pronounces your name wrongly, say, “No, this is [your name]. Also, when HomePod Siri fails to recognize your voice, take the following troubleshooting steps.

  1. Launch the Home app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap the Home icon.
  3. Select Home Settings.
  4. Tap your name under People.
  5. Turn ‘Recognize My Voice’ off then on.
  6. Wait for Siri to start again.

  8. Set up “Hey Siri” again.
  9. Turn ‘Listen for “Hey Siri’ off then on.
  10. Follow onscreen instructions to teach Siri your voice.
