Finally!!!

"Apple today is releasing the HomePod 13.2 software update with several new features, including multiple users support, Handoff and Ambient Sounds. The update was announced in June at WWDC 2019, but was postponed until October.

The multi-user mode allow the HomePod to recognize up to six different voices in the home, and personalize its responses accordingly. You will be able to access each user’s individual music library and do user-specific tasks through Personal Requests like sending messages or setting todos.

The new music handoff feature makes it easier to switch between the device in your hand and the HomePod speakers. Just bring your phone close to the HomePod and a notification appears on the Lock screen asking if you want to play on HomePod.

With Ambient Sounds, users can play white noise sounds directly on their HomePods, including ocean waves, birdsong, rainstorms, and more.

Check the full release notes below:

iOS 13.2 provides support for new HomePod features:

• The ability for HomePod to recognize the voices of different family members to provide a personalized experience
• Handoff music, podcasts or phone calls by bringing your iPhone close to HomePod
• Add music to your HomeKit scenes
• Play relaxing high-quality soundtracks with Ambient Sounds
• Set sleep timers to fall asleep to music or Ambient Sounds"

Apple releasing HomePod software update with promised voice profiles, Handoff features, much more

Anyone else own an HomePod and excited about this new release? We have four of them, one set in stereo pair, and then one in the study and one in the kitchen. Will be specifically interested in seeing how well it can differentiate my voice from the wife's.

Also sleep timer! Exciting.
