what's new in home in iPad

I have the same problem since 17.1.1 and I updated to 17.1.2 today on iPhone 14 Pro and "What's New in Home" message keeps appearing in the Home application, everytime I launch the application. Really annoying to be honest. A similar message appeared in Music but only once as it should be.

I have this same problem "What's New in Home" pops up most times I open the Home App. I can't see any way to make it go away. I wonder if anyone has a solution?

Annoying as **** on iPhone 12. Does not happen on my wife's iPhone, any of our MacBooks, iPads, just on my phone. I do not have Homebridge, Controller works flawlessly, as all our 87 Homekit devices. Rebooted, force closed, disabled any and all notifications to no avail. This "What's New in Home" splash screen keep splashing me every time I open the Home app, regardless if I force close it or simply close it and reopen it.

Anyone has any solution without deleting the home? Apple? Please? (and thank you!)

I now have a solution for this and NO THANKS to Apple. As I was having this problem primarily through ios, I tried to connect to Apple away from home and therefore NOT through the local network but through my mobile provider. This resolved the problem and since I connected to Apple Home from away, this resolved the issue. I did this before upgrading to 17.2 so the solution is not related to 17.2 upgrade.

Best wishes.

SOLVED!!!!

The issue was the Home widget on the home screen. For some reason, the widget must of stuck in a "just after update" mode with the "What's New in Home" always pupping up when (re)opening the actual Home App. All I had to do is remove the widget and add it again.

Thank you Apple (not) for investigating this f°°king annoying BUG and letting us know the simple solution.

Did you remove ALL the Home widgets from every screen including home screen, locked screen, right-swipe screen, etc. or anywhere added? Perhaps just a simple HomeKit device icon added to some screen?

Not sure of your setup, but on iPhone 12 Plus one 8 icon widget on home screen and a different 8 icon widget on the screen when I "right swipe" from the home screen.

Once I removed both widgets, then closed the Home app and reopened it, the message disappeared. Then I added the widgets back and the message did not come back. I even tried a reboot to make sure it is gone forever.

I have the same issue and it is very annoying. I can got from Home and have the pop up, go to another app, and immediately go back to Home and the pop up returns. It has to be a bug.

I’ll give it a shot. I feel as if I have checked in outside of my local network, but it definitely still happens back in my house.

I don't have an iPad, but this same should-only-be-once "What's New in Home" screen pops up EVERY time I open the Home app. It seems to have started with iOS 17.1 ... annoying as H E Double-Hockey-Sticks! 🤬

Me too.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17.1.2. Tried restarting app and then phone. Still there.

Deleted and reinstalled home app. Still there.

FWiW.. I have Meross, Schlage and Apple TV devices in the Home app and in settings I have RainMachine, Schlage Home and Sensi accessing HomeKit.

Other members of the household see all of the devices, do not have the added apps installed and do not display the annoying splash screen.

I am having the same problem. I am running ios 17.2.1, so it's not fixed with that update. I connected to Home using my iphone hot spot instead of my home WiFi and that made no difference.

iOS 17 has been a HUGE disappointment.

This Home "What's New" popup issue seems to have been resolved for me with iOS 17.2

I just tried this fix and it didn’t fix the issue.

Eureka! That was the ticket. I took off all of the widgets and the pop-up was gone and when I reinstalled them the pop-up is still gone.

Thank you!
