Apple HomePod: The most important commands at a glance

The areas of application for smart speakers such as the Apple HomePod are wide. You can ask the built-in voice assistant Siri various questions and have tasks performed by her. An overview of the most important commands can be found here.

Apple HomePod Commands - Tasks and Notes

With the HomePod you can do many tasks that you would otherwise have to take your iPhone or iPad with first. After waking the HomePod with "Hey Siri" you can say the following things, for example:

• "Set an alarm clock to 6:00 am" or "Activate all my alarm clocks for tomorrow"
• "Set a timer to seven and a half minutes"
• "Create a new list titled 'Purchasing'"
  "Add bananas and apples to my list"
• "Make an appointment tomorrow at 9:00 with the title 'Breakfast with Lisa'"
• "Call Max on his home number"
• "Send a message via WhatsApp to Peter with the content 'Come a little later'"
• "Send 10 euros to Johanna via PayPal"
• "Play Music from Avicii"

Query current data with the HomePod

With the HomePod you can also call up current information:

• "What is the weather like in Hamburg right now?"
• "How high is Apple's stock?"
• "What is the current traffic situation in Munich?" or "How long do I need to work today?"
• "How is Bayern against Dortmund?"
• "What time is it in Sydney right now?"
• "How many dollars are 10 euros?"

Use Siri as a knowledge base

Wikipedia and other sites on the Internet know almost everything - the HomePod also takes advantage of this. You can just ask questions and Siri will answer:

• "Who is President of France?"
• "How old is Angela Merkel?"
• "Who was soccer world champion in 1974?
• "Where's the closest restaurant nearby?"
• "What's new?"
  "Play the Deutschlandfunk News"
• "What is Julia's address?"
