Get ready to delete those third-party apps for your Tesla, as the company has announced a dedicated watchOS app to control Tesla cars.
The holiday season is set to become even merrier for Tesla car owners, as the company has announced that its dedicated watchOS app is coming this month. Until now, users had to rely on third-party apps such as Watch for Tesla, to control some functions of their Tesla cars. Not anymore, as the official Tesla watchOS app will soon become their digital car key.
The big change is a part of the Tesla Holiday update, announced in a post on Musk-owned social media platform X (formerly Twitter). With the new Tesla watchOS app, users will be able to use their Apple Watch as a key to lock/unlock their Tesla vehicles. Additionally, the app will also provide features such as opening the frunk (front trunk), viewing the battery charge status, and activating climate control.
Users have been able to control most of the functions using Tesla’s iOS app.
