HomePod: How to Use the Touch Surface

Here in the MacMagazinewe’ve already shown you how you can easily identify what the status lights at the top of the HomePods e HomePods mini mean.

Well, today, taking things deeper, we’ll show you the commands that can be performed using the touch-sensitive surface of Apple’s smart speakers.

Check them all out below! ????

• To talk to Siri, tap and hold your finger on the surface.
• To adjust the volume of the audio playing on the HomePod, tap or hold the “+” or “-“ button.
• To pause or resume playing audio, tap once on the top of the speaker.
• To advance to the next track, double-tap the area; to go back to the previous track, tap three times (this control will only work if you are listening to a playlist or an album).
• To stop an alarm that is ringing, tap anywhere on the surface.

In addition to these more basic controls, you can also use the touch area for the VoiceOver feature, aimed at accessibility.

Simple, born? ????
