Apple will present on June 9 iOS 19, at the World Developer Conference (WWDC), and will see the light during the month of September. It will be a very important update and, as confirmed by the Californian company, it will include a change that could affect those who use their iPhone as a control center for the smart devices of their home.
Through a support document published on its website, the company has announced that architecture Old of the Casa app It will cease to be compatible this autumn. This means that all users who have not yet updated to the new version of Apple Home must do so before installing iOS 19 if they do not want to meet unpleasant surprises.
Update the house app
This transition has been being taken for some time. Apple introduced the new architecture of the intelligent domestic system with iOS 16.2, promising a more efficient and reliable experience with homekit accessories. However, the first users ran into errors and stability problems, which led Apple to temporarily withdraw it. It was not until iOS 16.4 when it was available again.
Many users decided not to update for fear of losing functionalities or causing failures in their devices. However, that is about to change. With iOS 19, the old version of the house will be a thing of the past. And that implies that, if the system is not updated before, all linked accessories They could stop working After installing the new operating system.
Apple itself makes it clear on its official website: “The support for the previous version of Apple Home Fwill inalize in autumn of 2025. Update now to avoid interruptions with your accessories and automation. ” This warning is not just a recommendation, it is an obligation for those who want to continue using their smart bulbs, thermostats, plugs or cameras without setbacks.
In addition to improving reliability and performance, the new version has incorporated exclusive functions that are not available in the old version. For example, now it is possible manage guest accessconsult a history of activity or integrate aspirable robots compatible with homekit. These novelties, together with the promise of a more robust ecosystem, make update an intelligent and necessary decision.
The process to make the leap to the new version is quite simple. You just have to open the house app on an iPhone, iPad or Mac, press the three -point button that appears in the upper right, select “house adjustments”, enter “software update” and click on “Update now”. The system will take care of everything and, once completed, the message will appear: “This house and all accessories are updated.”
And although many users have continued to work well with ancient architecture, now there is no possible alternative: whoever wants to maintain their intelligent operational home will have to adapt to this new stage.
With the launch of new home products by Apple on the horizon, as well as the expected arrival of homeos, this movement fits within a strategy to modernize its domestic ecosystem, unifying and optimizing its operation.
So if you have been postponing that update for some time, the time has come to act. Because when iOS 19 officially arrives at your iPhone, there will be no turning back.
