Music & audio·HomePodPredicted — not yet device-tested

Ask HomePod what song is playing

Quick answer

"What song is this" and HomePod listens to the music in the room and names the track and artist. It works for songs playing on other speakers or the TV, not just HomePod's own audio. Follow up with "add it to my library" to save it in Apple Music.

If Siri doesn't get it

Song ID needs a clear earful of the music — lower competing noise. Saving to your library requires an Apple Music subscription.
