Hello there, Sieghard, I have a Braille Sense U2 Mini, so I would have to find the correct commands for that.
As for that app Home, it is totally useless to me, and I have no need for it. So I would have kicked that goofy (smile) app out for good. The only thing I abhor about Apple is that they tend to put many apps on all products that are often useless and cannot be deleted completely due to them being native apps. That really sucks! Yes, these folks at Apple Inc. are missing something in a large way. Not just Apple but other companies do the same. I just do not understand how these folks act like this. they like to show off by saying there are apps you need but the opposite is true. It is just a real goof on them! Thank you, Sieghard, for the information concerning the Home app. Todd -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Friday, November 18, 2016 2:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Home in iOS 10.1.1 Hi Todd, Apple has come up with a standard for home automation devices. These are things like connected thermostats, lights like the Philipps Hue, door locks, automated sprinkler control systems, cameras, devices to open and close curtains or blinds and so on. If you have any such devices and they support Apple's Home Kit standard they will appear in the Home app. I don't have a braille display, but maybe you know what commands to use if I tell you how I delete apps and if you have ever moved apps you are half way there. First, if I swipe up or down on any app on any home screen, Voiceover says "Arrange Apps". At that point you can swipe up or down again with one finger and this will go back and forth between "Activate Item" or "Move" followed by the name of the app. If you then double tap on "Activate Item" you will be asked if you want to delete the app and you can confirm and it will be deleted.

It is still on my iPhone now. How do one remove that Home app? Remember I am deafblind so I am a strong Braille user. Thank you.

I simply removed it in the very first, and I mean very first, non-public, beta of iOS 10, as I have no homekit devices and was simply not interested. > On 18 Nov 2016, at 04:09, Todd Patkus <[email protected]> wrote: > > To all: > > Many of you may know this, but wonder if any of y’all know exactly what the > Home app that was appended to iOS 10.1.1 is for?
