HomeKit thinks I’ve left home every time I restart phone after upgrading to iOS 17

Since upgrading to iOS 17, every time I restart my iPhone 12 Pro Max, within a minute HomeKit thinks I left home. I have to toggle HomeKit location permissions off and on to fix that. It then works until I restart the phone. This was never a problem under iOS 16 and earlier.


Any idea how to permanently fix this?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, 17

Apple support recommended I restart all my home hubs and then try restarting my phone. That worked. Hopefully this isn’t something I need to do periodically.
