Has anyone else noticed that when running app updates on an iPhone, the Weconnect ID app doesn't get picked up? Or have I not set something correctly? All my other apps (loads - too many perhaps) update OK.
I get wind of Weconnect ID updates through this forum or SpeakEV.

Don’t understand that. My WeConnect ID app updated today and last week along with others. But it is not showing anything new.

As far as I know the app is at version 1.28.0. I suspect we won't see anything new in the app until the car software is updated to V3.0 - whenever that's going to be.

There has been an update in the last couple of days. Mine appears and updates normally like any other app on my iPhone.

I wonder why mine won't do that? It's iPhone 11 with latest software.

I’ve noticed exactly the same - it doesn’t seem to be picked up for auto update. You have to find it in the App Store and then it shows it can be updated - so a manual process….

I didn't know about that! If that works, why do some apps not need that to happen but just show up as requiring an update? Or maybe that should be a question for an iPhone forum.

iPhone apps update every few days automatically. manually refreshing means you can force updates manually if you wish.

Maybe they are supposed to update automatically every few days, but that was the original point, my Weconnect app didn't. I wonder if there is something coded in the app to do this and the Weconnect app doesn't have that? After all, it may have been coded by VW and we know how good their coding is, don't we.

Mine too.

I always click on my profile and pull down the screen to refresh, as suggested above, so I couldn’t tell you if it was there without doing this. Maybe that’s the answer why yours wasn’t there at first.
