My HomePod mini won't finish configuring. I have gotten a new home pod mini and it still won't set up correctly on my phone. I have restarted it a bunch of times and it still isn't working. I thought maybe it was my wifi so i tried on another network and it still doesn't work. I know it isn't the HomePod because I connected it to my friends phone and it worked.
After connecting it to your friends phone, is it now signed into their Apple ID, their Home App and their wifi? It needs to be on your Apple ID and on the same home wifi network your iPhone is on.
You might try resetting HomePod now so you can start from scratch setting it up and to erase your friends data.
Press the top of HomePod to reset it
Start by plugging it in, then:
After it’s been reset try setting it up again
First update your iPhone to 16.1
Bluetooth and Keychain need to be enabled on your iPhone.

I removed all the data from my friends phone and restarted the HomePod. I think there is like an iCloud glitch because the home app on my MacBook pro is stuck on "loading accessories and scenes". My phone, iPad and mac all have the latest software, have the keychain on and the home app on. The HomePod works for basic things but it is not recognizing me or my location. It stops configuring half way
