Moreover in the new Home app, you will experience new and better UI, new wallpapers and iconography.
In iOS 16’s improved Home app, we will walk you through how to reorder rooms in the home app.

The New Home App Buttons
In addition to creating a custom layout in the Home app, the new buttons work differently for HomeKit devices. Previously, in order to turn a device on or off, you would need to tap and long-press a device tile and see more control options.
In the new iOS 16, Home app buttons work in the following way:
- In order to turn a device on or off, tap on the left-corner circle icon
- To see more control options, tap on the middle or right side of a button
- Simply long press, for more customized options and device details
