If you need to reset your HomePod to factory settings so you can reconnect it to a new Wi-Fi network, then don’t worry – it’s actually very simple to do. You don’t even need to use the Home app to do it!
Firstly, launch the Home app on your iPhone and 3D touch on your HomePod settings. From there, go to settings for HomePod and scroll all the way down until you see “Remove Accessory”. Clicking on this will remove the HomePod from your device.
Next, disconnect the HomePod from the power source and take it to your new location. Once you’re there and ready to set it up with a new Wi-Fi network, wait for five seconds before plugging it back in. Then hold the Home button and wait for the white sphere to turn red. Siri will then tell you that it’s going to reset the HomePod shortly.
Keep holding the Home button until you hear three beeps, and that’s it – you’ve reset your HomePod! All you need to do now is hold your iPhone next to the HomePod once it reboots, and it will reconnect and take you through the whole setup process as if you’re setting it up for the first time.
Resetting your HomePod is a quick and easy process that doesn’t require the Home app, so you can easily reconnect to a new Wi-Fi network whenever you need to.
