Hi everyone.

Check your BYD app for updates - latest version implements widget functionality.

It still needs to open the app for actions, but you now have lock, unlock, A/C on and A/C off shortcuts, saving you a little bit of time.

The widget also shows remaining battery. All in all a very useful update.

I have lock/unlock and AC function through the app in UK. I have always had that.

The lock/unlock and AC on/off buttons don't really work. Anyone I tap brings me back to the full app where I need to tap again. No shortcut

It’s pretty good, saves you a tap and then a wait for the app to open. Important when you have a kid in one hand and fumbling through the app with the other! I just wish it used faceid instead of the code to unlock

Great tip, thanks! The smaller widget is pretty good too for making sure you know when to recharge (without taking up too much screen real estate).

Looking forward to Siri integration. I.E. ‘Hey Siri, pre-cool my car’
