Apple releases HomePod 13.2.1 update, looks to resolve “bricking” issue created by HomePod 13.2

Just hang on for a while and an update will emerge.

Apple on Wednesday released the HomePod 13.2.1 update. The patch comes as a response to the company’s 13.2 update, which led to some HomePod units becoming non=functional.

If you installed 13.2 after it was released last Monday, the HomePod could be bricked if you reset the HomePod or removed it from the Home app. Apple withdrew the 13.2 update hours after initial reports appeared of bricked HomePods.

For users who installed the 13.2 update and found their HomePod bricked, they’ll need to contact Apple support and bring their unit into an Apple Store for service.

You can use the following instructions to install 13.2.1 for the HomePod:

Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch needs to be updated to the latest version of iOS. You can do this through Settings > General > Software Update.

  1. Launch the Home app.
  2. Tap the Home icon in the upper-left corner of the screen.
  3. Tap Software Update.
  4. When the update appears, tap Install.
