Unable to invite my wife to join my Apple Home app

I tried to invite my wife to join my apple home automation, but she never gets the invite. Any idea of what the problem may be. I have made sure she is up to o date and using an apple email. Still no invitation shows up.

Invite to join home app doesn’t work I invited my wife to join the Home app. She receives the invite but it will eventually say “could not accept invitation”. There is not another home in her app. We are signed in to iCloud. Password and key chain are on for both phones. The home app is checked under iCloud on both phones. Both phones have the latest software. My phone 14 pro max and hers is 15 pro max.

Apple Homekit invitation failed After my wife and I updated to iOS 16.2, I am not able to successfully invite my wife to my Apple Home app. I am the Resident (Owner) in the Home app. I am able to invite her from my iPhone (using either her phone number or her iCloud email address). She is able to accept the invite. But in less than 30 seconds the invite disappears from both of our phones. She does not see my Home on her phone. Prior to iOS 16.2 this was working fine. We both have iphones with iOS 16.2 installed. We have rebooted both of our phones, but that doesn't solve the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Homekit Invitation to Family Member Not Working I'm trying to add my wife, a Family Member in my Apple account, to my Home app. I send her the invitation from the Home App, it arrives on her phone almost instantly, but when she clicks Accept, our home briefly flashes, and then she has a screen where she can only create a NEW home! We've tried uninstalling Home on her phone, but it still won't let her join our Home app. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
