2 home icons in ios location services
Looking around the settings in my iPhone and saw this, anyone else seeing this?
iPhone 11 Pro Max 17.0.1
iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 17
Just the one.
Question marked as
I finally spoke with someone in support from Apple. I’m not sure if this works yet as I only did it on my iPad Pro. This morning when I thought it would it wouldn’t. Then I realized I needed to do it on my iPhone as well.
Here’s what support had me do:
- If you have the 2 “Home” icons in Location go to General.
- Scroll down to Transfer or Reset (item)
- Go to “Reset”
- Go to “Reset Location & Privacy”
- Reset
- You should now only have 1 “Home” icon. Activate it for location.
- You’ll be prompted on other items as you use them to use this then.
As I said I have done this to my iPhone as well after checking it and will see if it works tomorrow morning coming back from walking the dog.

I don’t believe I have any automations or scenes setup via HomeKit. I’ll set one up and try it out.
I set up an automation to turn off the lights when the "Anyone" leaves the home and it worked. I did mean to have it turn the lights off when the last person left the home.
So I set the automation up again with the "Last Person" setting and the lights turned off, so I would say geofencing is working on my end at least.
I have 2 as I’m the OP, don’t know why mine work and others don’t. Please keep us posted on any answers Apple gives you.
Can you give me an example and I'll try also.
Sorry, example of what?
Of an automation to trigger audio
Awesome, keep us posted on whether this fixes your geofencing issues.
Keep us updated please
Did what you asked, just returned home and listening to music from the HomePod OG's as I type this.
Awesome, I’ll give this a shot as well. Thanks for the heads up.
Well that sucks. I don’t have any ideas, I hope you get it figured out. Keep us in the loop.
mberan, did it end up working out for you?
Great you got your working. Do you still have the 2 home icons showing?
