Am I the only person who doesn't have apple shortcuts working on homepod 2 gen?

Help

Hello everyone!

For a long time I have not been able to run my apple shortcuts on my 2 2 gen homepods nor on any homepods mini, on my iPhone 17 they do work with Siri perfectly.

I have tried many things, including what I add just below, but it is IMPOSSIBLE for my 2 gen homepods to run apple shortcuts.

When I ask Siri on any homepods about my shortcuts they tell me: "I can't help you with that" "I found some results on the internet" "I don't think I understand you"

Does it happen to anyone else? Am I the only one?

THANK YOU FOR INFORMING ME. ALL THE BEST!!!

What I have done among many other things:

  • 1 In the home app under the HomePod settings turn off personal requests. This will stop the HomePod from syncing shortcuts with the cloud.
  • 2 Close the shortcut app on all my devices. Disable iCloud Sync in settings under shortcuts, I also enabled “allow deleting without conformation”. Do this on all devices that you own.
  • 3 After a few minutes go back into setting on one device and enable the shortcuts iCloud sync, then launch the shortcut app on that same device. Wait a few minutes for this to sync up with the cloud.
  • 4 Now repeat step 3 above for all the devices you have on that iCloud account while waiting a couple minutes in between each one. Then wait and do step 3 again for the next device. In my case I have two iPads, a phone and MacBook Pro so repeated this with all 4 devices to get them back in sync with the cloud.
  • 5 After iCloud sync is enabled on all devices and a couple minutes have pass you can go into the home app, enable personal requests again for the HomePod. After a few minutes all shortcuts should be synced up including the ones on the HomePod and everything should work again.
