In my Home app, I have grouped two lights successfully. Now I want to ungroup them, as per this article, https://www.trustedreviews.com/how-to/how-to-group-lights-in-homekit-4175104, there should be a "Ungroup Accessories" option:
But in my group setting, I do not see the such option:
Can anyone please let me know how to ungroup the lights now?
iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16
Thanks Matthew_J5.
I have already tried it before, but once I unselect the two lights in the "Edit Group", the "Done" button will be disabled. So I have to select as least two accessories, otherwise I can only click the "Cancel" button.
Actually, what I want is not editing the group, I want to remove the group since I do not need it anymore. I think that should be a normal operation, right? It would be weird that I can create a group but cannot remove it ...
Hello zhq527725,
Please take a look at this support article that explains more about using your iPhone as a home hub to control and modify your accessories and groups: Set up your HomePod, HomePod mini, Apple TV, or iPad as a home hub - Apple Support.
Follow the steps in this troubleshooting section, then check if your options are available for customizing your lighting groups:
We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.
zhq527725,
Thank you. The article you have first referenced is an outdate reference to how to ungroup accessories in the Home app. If you'd like to ungroup accessories, tap "Accessories" from your screenshot and then select "Edit" in the upper-right. Then, you'll be able to unselect an accessory.

We hope that helps.
Take care.
Thanks Rob_H1.
I have already called Apple's 400 number in my country, but they did not know how to resolve this issue, that's why I asked here.
Matthew, if what I first referenced is outdate, could you please share the latest one with me? Thanks!
Thanks Gena_D.
I see that support article is for setting up home hub, I already a HomePod mini in each of my rooms as home hub and they work well now, so I do not think setting up home hub can resolve the issue that I reported, I do not see the connections between them.
And for the troubleshooting steps, I confirmed I have already done them.
Thank you for the reply zhq527725!

Why is there no "Ungroup Accessories" button in my Home app
