The Home application is one of Apple’s biggest projects at the end of 2022. With the upcoming adoption of the Matter standard, the Apple brand took the opportunity to review the architecture of its application. A change that obviously did not please everyone, Apple having already retraced its steps.
The Cupertino company does not really explain its gesture, but it could be justified by connection problems with HomeKit-enabled devices. According to the specialized media MacRumors (article available at source), several users having installed iOS 16.2, the update of the Home application is no longer part of the news.
Apple retraces its steps
For good reason, many users who had updated in recent weeks have complained to Apple about new problems. The apple brand would have misconfigured the application and the latter would no longer be compatible with certain “HomeKit ready” products.
Experiences differ between users, but many have seen their devices turn off or even not be found within the Home app, as if the connection had never been established between the two devices. Several people have mentioned in particular on the forums that the video surveillance connected with HomeKit of their home no longer works.
