Hi there, @FYI. 👋

Thanks for sharing your experience with Pandora playing on your HomePod device.

Does this issue occur after hearing an advertisement?

First let's make sure your software meets the minimum requirements:

• Pandora iOS version 2010.1
• iOS or iPadOS 14.0
• HomePod Software Version 14.1

Please try the following steps:

• Check to see if there are any updates available for your HomePod and Pandora apps. Update both as necessary.
• Restart your HomePod device.
• Try unlinking and relinking your Pandora account.
  1. To unlink, open the Home app on your iOS device:
     • Tap the home icon at the top left of the screen
     • Tap Home Settings
     • Tap your iCloud avatar to view personal settings
     • Select Pandora and then Remove Pandora from Home
  2. To re-link, open the Pandora app on your iOS device:
     • Open the Pandora app on your iOS device.
     • Go to Profile and tap Settings.
     • Next select Connect with HomePod. 
     • Then tap Use in Home.

Let me know how it goes. 🎧

Hi @Bryshaunp 👋

Are you connected via AirPlay on your HomePod when listening to Pandora? In addition, does Pandora stop playing after hearing an advertisement?

If so, we have a related topic/issue under iOS: Music Stops After Ad Plays using AirPlay, and I'm just wondering if this is happening to you as well. 🤔
