iOS: HomePod says "The App hasn't added support"

[MusicFan4523]

All devices have been updated to the latest versions (Pandora, iOS, whatever OS runs on HomePod minis) and logged out/in. Pandora access was also removed/re-added to the HomePod mini.

This used to work about two months ago, and no longer does:

"Hey Siri, I like this song" -> which 'thumbs up' the song in Pandora ('thumbs down' when not liking the song).

Results in HomePod replying: "The App hasn't added support for that with Siri"

These do work:

"Hey Siri, skip this song"

"Hey Siri, play JoeArtist radio on Pandora"

Side note: Can an admin please change my user name. I'm sure a nephew of mine changed it at one point in a moment of idiotcracy.

Hi there, @MusicFan4523. 👋

Thanks so much for posting about this, and sorry to hear this.  I've gone ahead and enabled a trace on your account in case we need to share this with our engineering team. 

Please try out the following:

• 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 us know how it goes. 🎧

Did try these steps this morning. I still cannot thumbs down a song by saying “hey Siri I don’t like this song”. I was able to do this previously.
