Apple posts HomePod Software 14.1 with Intercom feature, more — Apple World Today

Apple has released HomePod Software 14.1, adding the Intercom feature, support for the HomePod mini (which can be preordered starting November 6), new Siri features, and more, in addition to bug fixes. 

The Intercom feature offers a quick way for family members to connect with each other at home. One person can send an Intercom message from one HomePod to another — whether in a different room, a specific zone, or multiple rooms throughout the home — and their voice will automatically play on the designated HomePod speaker. Intercom works with iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, and CarPlay.
