I wouldn't be surprised that we see another Release Candidate by Thursday just to make sure everything is okay, since there are many change coming for this version of iOS.
Unfortunately, you can't. It is likely an upcoming release will not work with the older architecture.
I was the same as you - ignored the badge (and turned off badges on the Home app) as I have an old iPad that I occasionally used to control my lights. However, I updated the architecture recently as felt I should move with the times.
For those unaware, the main difference between the old and new architecture is how Home deals with hubs. I don't have a home hub (Homepod, Apple TY) so the architecture upgrade did nothing for me apart from removing the badge 😁
I can still share my HomeKit devices without a hub on the legacy architecture. If I update my Apple Home architecture, sharing device will no longer be possible without a hub which is a huge bummer for me. I absolutely don’t need a HomePod or an Apple TV for that reason. Unfortunately, you cannot turn off notification badge on the Settings app.
Why am I not seeing anything about the photos app updates anymore? Hoping we’re still going to be able to see what photos are NOT in an album.
It's not obvious, but that option is there.
Click the ↑↓ thing, select Filter then select the not in album option.
it was off by default for me. you’ll see it in the notification settings under apple intelligence.
What about automations? If I'm not mistaken, a hub is required to run those...and the new architecture doesn't support the iPad as being a hub anymore.
My parents use their iPad as a hub for their kitchen uplights (turning on/off and changing colors at certain times). They don't have, nor do they care to have, an Apple TV or HomePod. I wonder if you can rig up an automation through the Shortcuts app instead, or does that require a hub as well?
Damn thank you for your comment. I just checked and it's back 🥳

I don't know, as my old iPad is the first gen iPad mini on iOS 9, so I never had that functionality.
In your case, I'd try and ignore the badge and not upgrade. However, if you're only talking about Philips Hue lights then you can actually have automations sent to the Hue hub. Shortcuts on your phone will work fine, so long as the phone is on at the time you want the shortcut to run. I still think it's easiest to not upgrade.
Oooooooooh. My 'Find my' app doesn't like this RC version. It conks out after being opened for about 10 seconds then the phone shuts down.
RC2 next Monday?
RC2 next Monday?
Apple needs an iOS version without a single new feature. Spend a year on bug extermination. I’m still plagued with a significant Mail bug introduced in 18.0 (both iPadOS and iOS). It’s ridiculous. Steve Jobs would have gone Krakatoa on the iOS team for this kind of sloppiness.
