How Apple Home updates work
Apple Home has no version number to watch and no update button to press. Changes arrive with Apple's software updates for iPhone, iPad, HomePod and Apple TV, and some features switch on quietly on Apple's side, which makes them easy to miss.
Each month we round up what actually changed for Apple Home households: new features, changed behaviour, and anything worth checking in your own setup. Rundowns are named for the month they cover, so 2026.7 is July's.
