With the release of iOS 16, the Home app is getting a facelift and a new lease on life complete with a promise of Matter support.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot going on in the world of smart tech lately, and the biggest <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> is the just-around-the-corner release of Matter\u2014a connectivity standard that aims to be the grand unifying thread that links smart home gear together.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s only appropriate, then, that Apple would take a moment during their 2022 Worldwide Developers Conference keynote to both give a shoutout to its ongoing support of the Matter standard and unveil a significantly updated Home app to show a renewed support for smart home initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>And boy, when we say it\u2019s a long-overdue update, we mean it. The Home app has remained almost entirely unchanged since it was introduced in 2016\u2014screenshots we took for news and articles back around that time look almost exactly like the app we have on our devices right now in June of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s new in the updated version of Home that will arrive with the release of iOS 16? While the behind the scenes stuff like support for the upcoming Matter standard is very exciting in terms of interoperability, the im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely visible thing is a massive user interface overhaul.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-809524 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AppleHomeNews2.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-credittext=\"Apple\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The new Home interface puts everything in your smart home front and center. The old Home app was a mess of tiles and functions tucked out of sight in sub-menus for every room. As a result, many people simply opted to use other smart home apps and run their smart home experience through Google Home or such instead.<\/p>\n<p>Now, however, your different smart home accessories are grouped in a very logical fashion by individual rooms and in a front-and-center manner with quick access to rooms, security cameras, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Open the Home app and you\u2019ll see immediately useful information along the top such as the readout from your smart thermostat, security system status, and so on. Everything else important is just a finger-swipe away.<\/p>\n<p>Although some design elements of the older Home app remain, such as a simple section on the main interface for your favorite Scenes, overall it\u2019s a complete UI overhaul.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-809528 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AppleHomeNews3.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"A closeup view of the Home widget, embeded in the iOS 16 lock screen.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-credittext=\"Apple\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The lock screen also gets an overhaul, with that same at-a-glance information from the top of the new Home app making an appearance on the lock screen under the time and date. That\u2019s perfect for getting an immediate look at the state of your smart home without fiddling with opening apps or checking the status of individual smart home components.<\/p>\n<p>After lamenting for years that the Home app seemed to be just withering on the vine, we\u2019re pretty excited to see this significant update. The much-improved user interface combined with support for the upcoming Matter standard\u00a0is just what the Home app needs to go from a \u201cWhy should I bother?\u201d experience to a proper \u201cIt just works!\u201d experience and we\u2019re looking forward to taking it for a test drive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
