Can the HomePod use your iPhone's hotspot for internet connection? null

Question

Technically... maybe. But it wouldn’t be pretty or easy. Not something I would recommend. And you would need an iPad. Okay, if I really was motivated to do this..

1. reset the HomePod if it was on another network. Remove it from HomeKit.
2. Turn on your iPhone... then move it a bit away, say 5 or 10 feet, from the HomePod.
3. Log your iPad Wi-Fi onto your phone.
4. Then pair your iPad to your HomePod.

That should work. More than likely it will take a few attempts. It really likes to be set to one network then squat.

Hey Nico, I had this question myself also before I bought it and according to the apple website, the HomePod must be on a wifi connection. it won't work if you have a LTE connection or a wifi system that requires you to login each time.

No WiFi only

No, to connect to your HomePod you have to have WiFi and Bluetooth on. To make a hotspot WiFi is turned off.
