HomeKit apps stuck “Loading Accessories and Scene” on white screen with iPhone


After upgrading iPhone to latest iOS 11.3 and iOS 11.4, many iPhone users are facing issue with HomeKit Apps that the apps won’t start anymore and keep on saying “Loading Accessories and Scenes”.  Moment you will launch the app it just gets stuck on this white screen that says Loading Home. The Homekit app seems to be stuck on this. Restarting the iPhone, iPad and AppleTV does not seems to fix the issue.


Even the issue is reported with iPhone X and iPhone 8 plus, so the issue is not dependent on the model of iPhone as on iPad also the issue observed by many users. This seems to be a bug in the recent releases of iOS and apple should address the bugs as soon as in next releases. HomeKit devices are worthless as HomeKit is not working and apps keeps reporting “Loading Accessories and Scenes”. This is really annoying as each time you will open the app it simply says "Loading Accessories and Scenes" forever.

Fix 1: Wait on the white screen  and reset config

If you can wait for 30 minutes, an option is displayed on the bottom of the screen to reset your HomeKit configuration. But, this will delete everything from your HomeKit.
