Heads up for anyone with hearing aids, when my iPhone 13 Pro came back up after installing 16.2, my phone could not see my Oticon hearing aids. I turned the hearing aids off and back on and the phone still couldn't see them. I rebooted the iPhone and then the phone was able to see the hearing aids.
How can the new Home app architecture be applied? I'm referring to this: https://www.macrumors.com/2022/10/25/home-app-architecture-update-ios-16-2/
Nothing showed up when I went into the Home app.

Does this also fix the notification location on the Lock Screen? The "List" option seems to do nothing with the notifications still being at the bottom since 16.0.
Maybe slow performance because file system is re-indexing? Works fine on my 11" 2018 iPad Pro.
Can you please explain what you mean? If I update my iPhone then I will need to update my AppleTv and my homepod as well If I want to stream to them? Where can I get info about this?
If you want to use the new homekit architecture all of your devices will need to be updated to use it
Regardless it's been fixed. Have tested several books on iPad. They are not gonna list every single bug they fixed.
Seems Apple Music Sing can’t handle some singers like Céline Dion well. The vocal remains distinguishable sometimes, and humming is not omitted at all.
Thanks for the answer but I still don’ get it. I ONLY want to update my iPhone to 16.2 I want to keep all my other devices to the OS they are running on now. I don’t care at all about a new homekit architecture. If I upgrade my iPhone to 16.2 will I still be able to stream music to my Homepod if I do not update the Homepod? Yes? No?
If your devices are new (newer than 2 months) the option to enable advanced data protection will not be available

The iPhone was new to my account but I've had my iPad for over a year. I didn't get a date for when I could enable it like others had, just a generic, "something went wrong" message. I was able to get it to work though by disabling my recovery key, enabling advanced data protection and then was able to turn the recovery key back on so all good. Now just need Windows iCloud to be updated so I can log in with that too.
