macOS and iPadOS updates coming soon
The redesigned Home app makes it easier to control all your smart home accessories — on all your Apple devices. It’s secure and protects your personal data. And with HomePod mini or Apple TV set up as the ultimate home hub, the new Home app unlocks the full potential of your smart home.
New categories like Lights, Security and Climate are at the top of the Home tab, giving you instant access to accessories and their status.
View up to four cameras at once to quickly make sure each room is just as you left it.
Colour-coordinated icons help you find the accessories you’re looking for.
Rooms and Favourite Accessories are grouped in the Home tab, so you can easily view and control your smart devices.
HomePod mini and Apple TV. The keys to even more control.
The Home app can do even more with the help of your HomePod mini or Apple TV. Either one can be set up as a smart home hub, giving you access to your home while you’re away and letting you automate all of your home’s smart accessories. And your HomePod mini or Apple TV hub is also an essential building block for Matter — the new smart home industry standard that will be compatible with more accessories, and even connect them across platforms.2

Privacy at home is more important than ever. That’s why your Home app data is stored in a way that Apple can’t read it. Your accessories are controlled by your Apple devices instead of the cloud, and communication is encrypted end to end. So only you and the people you choose can access your data.
