"Hey Siri" all apple devices in the area activate Siri

[pilotkid]

Hello all,

I am wondering if there is some sort of setting that I can turn on that when I say "Hey Siri" not all of my apple devices that can hear the phrase activate. For example on my desk I have a Homepod Mini, iPad, and iPhone 12 Pro Max and Siri on all three devices activate when I say the magic phrase. It would be great if there was a setting like I said above were maybe the nearest device only activates Siri or something of the like. Does a setting to prevent this exist?

This should happen automatically, but make sure you have Bluetooth turned on for every device. I only have an iPhone and iPad so can't speak for the HomePod mini. When I say "Hey Siri", both of them will activate/light up, but then only the one closest to me stays active and the other one goes off. (If I happen to have Bluetooth turned off on one of them, then they both stay active.)

You are exactly right!!! I just turn on the Bluetooth on my iPad Pro(that's what made me make this post) and now when I say "hey Siri" only my homepod stays active for whatever I'm wanting it to do.

Thank you soooooo much. I had gone through the settings of everything trying to figure it out before I posted.

I had to turn off “hey Siri” for all devices except for my HomePod. Otherwise you never know which device will respond. It might be ok if Siri on all devices could do the same thing but some devices can do a thing that some others cannot. I wish I could make my devices or at least use generic names like “hey HomePod” and “hey watch”
