Home Assistant’s smaller Apple surfaces are becoming more capable. “Magic items” will be able to toggle an entity, open a URL, or perform a Home Assistant action, bringing widget and app-icon behavior in line with the web interface.
Circular Lock Screen widgets now draw their icons as images, avoiding missing glyphs when iOS renders them outside the extension process. Their monochrome layout and picker previews were corrected at the same time.
On Apple Watch, Assist now shows the same responsive voice orb as the phone, driven by microphone level and kept active through the silence countdown that ends a recording.
