Code snippets reveal that Apple plans to add support for third-party AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude to HomeView in the iOS 27.3 beta. The previously discovered ConversationalApps marker has now been confirmed by the code: PebblePlay, the HomeView CarPlay bridging tool, has gained a conversational app category in this version. Apple uses such markers to determine which categories of third-party apps devices are allowed to run, operating in a way similar to CarPlay. Other code clues suggest that HomeView may also serve as a HomeKit security camera in the future. HomeView is Apple's first smart home hub device, positioned as a shared smart display for the home that integrates smart home control, music playback, video calls, and home monitoring.
