News coming to HomePod with 16.3
Yesterday we had a big day when it comes to updates in the Apple world. And it is that, after a while waiting, updates of those considered great arrived. We talked, how could it be otherwise, about iOS 16.3 and iPadOS 16.3.
But the updates didn't stop there. We could see how Apple also released watchOS 9.3, as well as iOS 15.7.3 and iOS 12.5.7 , updates for devices like the iPhone 5s, which mainly included security improvements.And despite this, things have not stopped there, since version 16.3 is also available for HomePod
These are all the new features that version 16.3 brings to HomePods:
We begin with what is probably the most anticipated function for the HomePod. We are talking about the activation of some sensors that were discovered incidentally in the HomePod and that came totally deactivated.
These sensors are temperature and humidity sensors. The version 16.3 activates them both in the HomePod mini and in the new second generation HomePods, and thanks to them we will be able to know both the humidity and the temperature of the room where the HomePod is in from the app Home

In addition to this star function, the update will allow us to use the Search network. This will allow us to locate friends or relatives from the HomePod. Ambient sounds have also been improved and sound detection has been added.
Regarding various improvements, the HomePod with 16.3 will allow us to configure automations that we do regularly with our voice and Siri will play sounds when a request is completed on an accessory linked to Home And not only that, but this version also improves the voice sounds on the HomePod , as well as the sound controls of the first generation HomePod.
We are sure that many HomePod users will appreciate this update. And while most of you will have automatic updates installed, you can update your HomePod manually from the Settings app Home.
