WearOS FordPass Coming Soon?

[Lightning Bronson]

I was forced logged out for some reason on my FordPass (5.7) and the "What's New" section when you first log in showed this, being a photo of FordPass clearly on a non-Apple Watch!

It seems like it's coming soon for us Android users!

This would be great! Thank you for sharing!

Boy, I hope you are right. This would be a nice improvement.

If true, this would be good incentive for me to grab a Pixel Watch!

I hope it'll come soon too. Here's a video of the notification showing up. You can force it by deleting app data and cache and relogging back in as it forces the What's New popup.

I hope it runs faster than the iPhone/Apple Watch I have.

It is so slow it’s almost unusable.

If you’re just sitting around and need to lock or unlock the truck it’s okay. If you’re walking to the truck it doesn’t get unlocked before you get there from across the lot.

Now that said, I am using a iPhone 12 and an SE Apple Watch so it may perform better on the need devices.

I think efforts should be spent on making the app better. Just my 2¢.

It would be great if I could remote start the climate controls with 2 taps on my watch.

The word "soon" has a totally different context when it comes for Ford's software engineering. Expect nothing.

Well, the Wear OS app is available now. I just installed it. Maybe related to the 5.8 Android phone app that was recently updated. Maybe not.

I was surprised. I am new to Wear OS so not super familiar with the capabilities.

I can confirm that the WearOS app is also working on the watch, via cell connection, while being detached from the phone. I remember seeing that being an issue with the iOS Watch version, that it had to be tethered to the phone.

I am running a 14 Pro Max and the OG Ultra and it took 20 sec from opening the app on the watch to it confirming it was locked, for perspective.

Just installed the app on my Watch-4 (Android)

I talk about it in this thread / post

15Plus and Watch 10. Lock / unlock response is comparable to the phone….3 to 5 seconds.

Deffo released since 5.8 with no Ford fanfare. Kinda not surprised lol.
