Tesla's New Smartphone App Receives Major Overhaul
Tesla has released new updates for its applications on major mobile platforms like Android and iOs. The app aims to ease user interaction with the app with a completely redesigned user interface and Touch ID integration for iPhones.
The app also comes with a quick access for ease of usage. The update seemed a bit necessary since the app's older versions struggled to perform consistently, leading to minor issues like occasional crashes and intermittent failures for certain users.
Tesla, more or less in the app domain lacked a comfortable presence for some time. The new build, which was recently rolled out, surely changes all of it. Coming to the iOs app interface first, the application on top clearly indicates the amount of mileage the car would be able to provide from the previous charge. While charging, it would also report the time remaining for a complete charge. At first glance, the app is now much tidier than it was before and also has the majority of options that owners look out for without any hassles.
The app, much like before indicates the interior temperatures and also lets user heat the enrivonment, right in the app itself. On-screen options can be expanded for a more detailed outlook and it's now a bit more simplistic and yet not too sophisticated for which the images are available on this report from Macrumours.
Going to the Android side of things, other than the notifications bar and the menu options, the app, more of less, remains the same at least in design and icon placements. The android app much like its iOs competitor sees no change for the recent build. The android version of images alongside the old iOs app is seen compared side-to-side on Technobuffalo.
The report had also hoped for a better pairing with the automobile itself in the upcoming updates also adding to the fact that the android app also includes the fingerprint sensor supporting the app. Tesla's last major updates on its apps dates back to 2012.
