After Android phones have had Matter support for over a month, the protocol is finally being rolled out to iOS users of the SmartThings app too.
reports that the iOS version of the SmartThings app has finally gotten updated with Matter support. This update was teased earlier this month during 2023’s CES . The update was expected a while ago, but got delayed for a reason that has not been commented on at the time of writing.So, what does this mean for you? Well, if you have an iPhone, it means that you can stop using Apple Home as your smart home management app.
Naturally, Google’s own smart home products are Matter enabled and will work nicely with either of the apps mentioned above. However, the Google Home app is not available on iOS yet. Still, having the option to choose between two apps for all of your smart home stuff is better than having to stick with one.. It can not only be used to centralize your smart home appliances, but can also be used as a wireless charger.
