Cool little insight into their progress.
I'm excited for the day Siri can differentiate my voice and my wife's so we can use a single HomePod with two iCloud accounts. For example, Siri reading off calendar appointments from an iCloud account based on who's asking.
- AlphaWeaver 8y agoThis feature is one of my favorite things about the Google Home.
- jorvi 8y agoThat feature is not blocked by technical but by arbitrary limits. Whether it is a family iPad, Apple TV or HomePod, Apple strongly believes in 1:1 device-person (or more accurate, device-iCloud account) mapping.
- geerlingguy 8y agoMacs do multi account quite well, and iOS/iPad does it for schools. I’m not sure why Apple hasn’t at least made iPads for consumers have the same multi-iCloud-account feature available, it would make things a lot easier at home!
- dkonofalski 8y agoThe HomePod was designed not to be a single-user device. Especially after reading the OP article, I think it's more of a technical limit than anything because you could potentially give away information that didn't belong to a user if the user isn't detected correctly.
