Home app family invitation update

I am still unable to invite family members to share a Home in the Home app.

This is after doing all the updates, reboots, resets, etc that I saw on here AND after spending 2 hours on the phone with Apple Support.

This was the day before iOS 16.3.1 came out, so the next day after updating all devices again, I attempted the recommended steps again with no success.

It seems the universe is still against me as I heard that the update fixed the issue for some lucky people.

Homekit Invitation to Family Member Not Working I'm trying to add my wife, a Family Member in my Apple account, to my Home app. I send her the invitation from the Home App, it arrives on her phone almost instantly, but when she clicks Accept, our home briefly flashes, and then she has a screen where she can only create a NEW home! We've tried uninstalling Home on her phone, but it still won't let her join our Home app. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Apple Homekit invitation failed After my wife and I updated to iOS 16.2, I am not able to successfully invite my wife to my Apple Home app. I am the Resident (Owner) in the Home app. I am able to invite her from my iPhone (using either her phone number or her iCloud email address). She is able to accept the invite. But in less than 30 seconds the invite disappears from both of our phones. She does not see my Home on her phone. Prior to iOS 16.2 this was working fine. We both have iphones with iOS 16.2 installed. We have rebooted both of our phones, but that doesn't solve the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Add Member on Family Sharing button not working I am running iOS 16.1 on an iPhone 12 max. I’m trying to add another family member to my family sharing and when I get to the part and click on the blue add button, it brings up a screen with a spinning wheel, which stays on for a couple of seconds and then disappears putting me back to the add family screen.
