Here’s how to enable the feature Sound Recognition on your device! ????

Requirements

To enable this, first make sure your HomePod (1st or 2nd generation) or HomePod mini is updated to HomePod Software version 16.4 or later. In addition, you need to have the architecture of the Home app up to date.

how to activate

Open the Home app on your iPhone/iPad and, in the “Home” tab, a notice should appear at the top of the screen informing you of the news. Tap “Continue” and “Activate”.

If this does not appear, tap the button represented by three dots (in the upper right corner) and go to “Home Settings”. Then select Safety and Security » Sound Recognition. From there, you can also manage notifications and the people who will be able to hear the sounds picked up by the speaker.
