Homekit data usage

Why is HomeKit using data when I have the app deleted? I understand that it’s a preinstalled app but recently it’s been using more and more data?

Hello Bosco313,

HomeKit isn't an app. Did you mean you deleted the Home app?

Delete built-in Apple apps from the Home Screen on your iOS 14 or later or iPadOS device or Apple Watch - Apple Support

You'll want to make sure that any apps added with a HomeKit accessory was also removed.

Add a HomeKit accessory to the Home app - Apple Support

If everything associated with the Home app was also deleted from your iPhone, but you're still seeing cellular data being used, you'll want to contact Apple Support, so they can look at it with you.

Apple Support

Take care!

So I talked to Apple support and they were very nice but not very helpful, I went through all the steps they suggested and the problem of data usage still is there.They do not think it’s a problem but they are still concerned, my case is still open and we probably will talk again. Is it a HomeKit exploit? I try to believe that everything is fine,but new things pop up every day. Could it be ultra wide band? I think with the help of the Apple community and Apple themselves, this problem will be resolved

I believe I deleted everything and turned off anything associated with it, but I still do see data usage
