How to change your Apple Music account on HomePod

Whether you want to switch to a different Apple ID or share your HomePod with someone else, knowing how to change the Apple Music account can allow you to enjoy a personalized music experience tailored to your preferences. While the process may seem a bit elusive at first, in this guide, I will walk you through the necessary steps on how to change your Apple Music account on HomePod.

How to change Apple Music account from HomePod Settings on iPhone

Here are the simple steps using which you can change your Apple Music account from HomePod Settings using iPhone:

  1. Open the Home app on your iPhone. 
  2. Scroll down and tap Settings.
  3. Alternatively, you can also keep scrolling.
  4. Select Primary User beneath Music & Podcast.
  5. Tap on the Sign out option to initiate the logout process and wait for a few seconds.
  6. Tap Sign In again → Enter Apple ID and Password → Press Sign In.

Workaround: Reset HomePod or HomePod Mini

Resetting your HomePod or HomePod Mini can be used as a workaround method to change your Apple Music account on the device. You can set up the HomePod again with a different Apple ID and Apple Music account by resetting it, which essentially returns it to its factory settings.

However, it’s crucial to remember that resetting the HomePod will delete all data and settings related to it, including user preferences and settings for other smart home features. Considering this, I advise you to back up all your data before doing so.
