Apple Releases HomePod Software Update 26 [Download]

Apple has released HomePod Software Update 26 for HomePod and HomePod mini.

HomePod Software Version 26
Software version 26 includes support for crossfade with Apple Music and AirPlay improvements. This update also includes bug fixes and stability improvements.

Crossfade on HomePod smoothly transitions between songs by fading out the currently playing song while fading in the next so the music never stops.


When using AirPlay to play audio on HomePod, you can now ask Siri on HomePod to play to another HomePod speaker in your home.

You can update the software on your HomePod using the Home app on an iPhone or iPad running iOS 26 or iPad26.
