Is this “solution” working for anyone else? I‘ve following every step exactly but the invitation still never shows up for the new user.

I have tried following this “solution” step by step exactly and when I send the invitation to the new user in the final step they still never receive said invitation.

Hello Adam_Walther,


After trying all the steps in the article came from, If you can't access a home or accept an invitation in the Home app - Apple Support, if you are still having an issue, work through these steps:


  1. Confirm the invited user's iPhone or iPad is running iOS or iPadOS version 16.2.
  2. On the invited user's iPhone or iPad, delete any empty home(s) in Home Settings > Remove Home. NOTE: These empty homes may be titled "My Home" or something similar, like My Home (1).
  3. Restart the invited user's and home owner's iPhone or iPad, and restart all Apple TV and HomePod devices in the home.
  4. On the home owner's iPhone or iPad, open the Home app and remove any pending invitations to the invited user. Tap the More button, select Home Settings , tap the guest's name, and tap Cancel Invitation.
  5. Resend the invitation to share control of the home to the invited user.


These steps should help.


Have a good day.

srb, those are the same steps as the article, they don’t work.


I have a home with both HomePod (secondary) and Apple TV (primary) and an iPhone and iPad. All upgraded to their latest versions. The invitee has an iPhone and iPad, both upgraded to their latest versions. I have tried restarting all devices in multiple orders and tried inviting with some devices turned off. Nothing is making the invitation arrive.
