HomePod WiFi signal
Do you know that you can now check HomePod WiFi signal strength on iPhone, iPad or Mac? All this thanks to new functionality added by the recently released iOS 15.5, HomePod 15.5 and macOS 12.4 software updates.
How To Check HomePod WiFi Signal Strength
All that you have to do is to open the Home app and:
- 1. Long-press the HomePod card available on the Home app home screen.
- 2. Scroll a couple of times until you reach the end of the HomePod card.
- 3. Tap on the Wi-Fi Address field as shown in the above screenshot. It will unveil the Wi-Fi Network name and signal strength.
Fact: You can repeat the same steps on your iPad.
Tip: Remember that your devices have to run the above mentioned software versions or later. Else, only the WiFi network name will be shown, without the signal strength.
