Apple's Home app is where you can control and automate HomeKit and Matter-enabled accessories, such as lights, smart TVs, and thermostats. Here's how to reorganize the Home overview to more easily navigate and control your accessories.

In the Home app, you can tap the Home tab to get an overview of your accessories, which are organized into several sections. The top row lets you view them by category, such as Lights, Security, Climate, Speakers, and Water.

Below that, you'll find Cameras (if you have any), followed by accessories organized by Favorites, Scenes, and Rooms, although not necessarily in that order.

If you want, you can re-organize the Home view to better suit how you use your ‌HomeKit‌ accessories. You can rearrange sections, rearrange the items in each section, and even change the size of individual accessory tiles. The following steps show you how it's done.

  2. Select Edit Home View.
  3. Drag the tiles to your preferred positions. Other tiles will move out the way.
