Turn off HomePod listening history to ensure all of your Apple Music recommendations remain unaffected. Once you have turned off listening history on the smart speaker, the music streaming service will no longer play songs from the personal curation algorithms.
HomePod and Apple Music are a deadly combination! The music streaming service not just lets you stream songs on demand but also recommends tracks based on what you enjoy listening.
