Play an audiobook with Siri
Quick answer
"Play my audiobook" and HomePod resumes the audiobook you're listening to in Apple Books, picking up where you left off. Name a title to start a specific one. Say "skip back 30 seconds" if you missed a line, or "pause" to stop. It remembers your place across devices.

If Siri doesn't get it
Audiobook playback uses Apple Books and needs the book in your library. Titles from other apps may need you to name the app or start playback there.
