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. 🤔
