HUE app can’t find HUE bridge after installation of IOS 14 on iPAD

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.

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.

  • Go to iPhone Settings
  • Scroll down and select the Hue app
  • Ensure the Local Network option is on.

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
