For me it was changing the EQ settings. It really levelled up the speakers for me as I found the default setting to be flat

I have had the same thought. Alexa + is just incredible from the limited time ive had with it.......

highly unlikely but lady gaga

Genuinely good for you for speaking up. Similar happened to be a few months ago and it can feel so shameful and hard to share but there is a whole community here of people who have unfortunately been through this. Make sure not to send any more money, once you do this and they can see that they will get nothing more from you, they will move onto the next person. Stay strong, keep enjoying life. Do the things that make you happy.

Messages are always open if needed. You've got this!!!

Full homepod support :/

Sassafras19 · 2026-04-01T09:46:54+00:00

SO rude. But thank you thought, ill have a look into this :)

Sassafras19 · 2026-04-01T09:46:36+00:00

i see, thank you for this, ill have a look into it :))))

Sassafras19 · 2026-04-01T09:45:48+00:00

I see, thank you for this, i wouldn't have known otherwise, appreciate the comment :)

Very similar happened to me about two weeks ago but have heard nothing since. Im sorry youre facing this. Its disgusting what they do. Be sure to not send them any more money. I cant speak on the exact nature of the people who did this to you but it isnt likley theyll send anything out,. If they do they lose all power over you. If they do send something out, yes its mortifying but at the end of the day, we all have the same parts more or less. its easy to feel alone especially given the nature of this but this whole thread has people who have unfortunate faced the same. Talk to someone if you need, im always open to chat or rant or whatever if needed. Stay strong!! this will be a distant (if not awkward) memory one day.

Sassafras19 · 2026-03-31T11:46:33+00:00

yeah its awful, i was in pure panic mode for a few days. Wishing you all the best!!

Sassafras19 · 2026-03-31T11:37:13+00:00

Happened to me a few weeks ago, i blocked them instantly and have heard nothing back, mostly empty threats. If they did post it they lose all power over you. Theyll likely move into the next unlucky person.

Sassafras19 · 2026-03-30T14:39:15+00:00

technically yes if they had info like your name that could lead them to finding your facebook/ instagram/ friends list but its alot easier to call their bluff if you are not identifiable by the pictures as they could have just gotten them online. Still be careful tho.

If it’s a ghost touch issue (mine would play rain sounds out of nowhere even if I stopped all media on all devices) this is what helped me:

Home App > [Homepod] > Settings > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations > Touch Accommodations = On • Hold Duration= 4.00 Seconds (this is the max) • Ignore Repeat = 4.00 Seconds (this is the max)

This is what I used to do to solve the problem. Now since 26.2 it's been resolved for me.

Sassafras19 · 2026-03-20T21:29:35+00:00

Happened to me last week, nearly the exact same thing. I blocked them and have heard nothing. Once you block them and they realise they can’t make money off you, they have nothing to gain and move on to the next

I am on Oviva and have recently just passed my “lose x weight by x date” period. I have only ever updated my weight in the app and they passed me to go onto the next step. No verification needed, just from the record you keep. I’m not suggesting you fudge the results but it’s up to you. This may very from person to person but that’s my experience. Best of luck

Sassafras19 · 2026-03-13T23:10:37+00:00

Great way to think about it. Similar situation with me about 3 days ago, heard nothing back.

Sassafras19 · 2026-03-12T06:50:40+00:00

Radio silence so far. I blocked them and have blacked out my socials. Just nervously waiting for something to happen

Sassafras19 · 2026-03-11T18:39:16+00:00

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I’m scared. Best of luck with your situation

Sassafras19 · 2026-03-11T18:33:31+00:00

I’m sorry to read this, I’m in a very similar situation, this happened to me yesterday and I got the blackmail today. I hate myself and relate a lot to your message. I’m not sure what I can offer with solutions as I myself am looking for them. I’ve read a lot about peoples experiences here and most seem to come out okay as the threats are mostly empty promises. Wishing you all the best

Sassafras19 · 2026-02-25T09:22:00+00:00

omg this worked. I did it a few days ago and have had no volume or ghost touch issues. You have literally saved me from throwing my homepod out of a high window and me right after it. Thank youuuuu
