A few weeks ago, Apple brought iOS 16.2 to the forefront. This new iOS update arrived with many new features, all describedhere in our columns. The most notable are: new Freeform app, end-to-end encryption for notes, messages and photos on iCloud, Stage Manager on iPad and HomeKit compatibility with the new Matter home automation standard.
And precisely, regarding this last addition,everything doesn't seem to work the way Apple would like.
HomeKit derailed under iOS 16.2
Many of you have mentioned it to us, the iOS 16.2 update is the cause of serious malfunctions in the HomeKit system. Some perfectly functional connected accessories under iOS 16.1 arebecome unusable under iO 16.2, HomeKit control scenes also became unusable after update, among many othersdisturbances of the same kind.
And if sometimes, during an iPhone software update, bugs affect a handful of users, in the case of iOS 16.2 and HomeKit, the problem seems widespread enough and above all serious enough, for Apple to react without to be prayed for. The Californian firm, on the one hand, a few days ago,rolled back the HomeKit architecture update brought by iOS 16.2. On the other hand, internally, as Sami Fathi from MacRumors reports to us, the red alert would have been given: the HomeKit update would have joined thelist of major problems to be resolved as quickly as possible. And as the source points out, this is a procedure rarely used by the Cupertino company for software…
We hope to see everything back to normal as soon as possible regarding HomeKit.
Friends who are HomeKit users, what is currently happening on your side? What issues did iOS 16.2 update bring? As of today, what is the operating status of your HomeKit installation?
