I am using the HUE app and PhIlips HUE lights for quite a while with both my iPhone and iPad.
Last night I updated my iPad to iOS 14 and since today the HUE app can’t find the connection with the HUE bridge anymore! However, I still have a connection with the HUE bridge on my iPhone, so I really wonder if this IOS14-update ruined the connection with Phillips HUE....
Anyone with the same problems?
Thanks.

New Hue Bridge can't be recognized after latest iOS 14 update. I've tried everything. power cycle, deleting app (and all my scenes) resetting brand new bridge. I even went out and bought a new bridge - nothing. It just isn't compatible with the new operating system. I wonder if it's because they want you yo use the home pod - which would still require the hue bridge. Any - advice other than the, make sure your "wifi is on" would be much appreciated
Make sure you turn on the local network discovery option. It pops up the first time you load the app with iOS14. If you selected no (I did), just go into the iPhone/iPad settings, find the Hue app, and enable “local network.”
Mine still works after the updates. I’d recheck that you’re allowing the app to find the devices. I’m not talking about your WiFi, I’m talking about the app specific permissions and limitations Apple added with iOS 14.
