Software version 16.1 adds support for Matter, the new smart home connectivity standard that enables a wide variety of smart home accessories to work together across ecosystems. This update also includes performance and stability improvements.
I was pretty thrilled yesterday when I found out that saying, “hey Siri, answer my phone” to the HomePod mini, worked as I was getting out of the shower.
I should have elaborated. It was my daughter calling from her bedroom; and yes I have Siri announce who’s calling. I’m not just willie nillie answering calls. That’s madness.
It is funny though, if someone calls me from a number I don't recognize or is not in my contacts they better leave a message because I will never pick up the phone. LOL
