HomePods will not update. Any ideas why?

I’m not finding anything substantive regarding 16.2 in Apple media.

According to a Reddit thread, there is no 16.2 beta for the original HomePod.

To reiterate Ed7789, 16.2 is beta for iOS and IPadOS. HomePodOS 16.2 beta may be out there (I only personally know of IPadOS and IOS) but it will be beta. That means you’re in ‘best effort’ territory with a beta. Troubleshooting it will require some blazing of new trails.
Alternative: reset the Homepods and let them all update to the latest public release, 16.1. Wait for 16.2 to be public in a few weeks. BOL…
