Tesla Plans to Release Apple Watch App That Will Work as a Digital KeyTesla last week updated its
iPhone app with new Control Center controls on iOS 18. In addition, the latest version of the app added hidden code references to an upcoming Apple Watch version of the app, according to
MacRumors contributor
Aaron Perris.
The code indicates that it will be possible to use the Apple Watch as a digital key to remotely unlock compatible Tesla vehicles. Currently, this functionality is only available through
unofficial, third-party Apple Watch apps on the App Store, and it has also been possible to use an iPhone as a Tesla car key for many years as well.
Earlier this year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk
seemed open to Tesla releasing an Apple Watch app, and the code confirms that development is underway. It is unclear when the app will be released, should it move beyond the internal development stage.<div class="linkback">Tag:
