Tesla appears to be making progress on an application for smartwatches, addressing a long-standing request from vehicle owners. Coding details uncovered by Tesla App Updates indicate that the company is working on an app that could enhance integration between its vehicles and smartwatches, a feature many owners have desired for years.
While Tesla has delayed smartwatch integration, opting to focus on its mobile app for iOS and Android platforms, it seems that the company is finally responding to user demands. The coding observed includes the line “watch_app_pairing_state_remotely_signing_add_key_command,” suggesting the development of a smartwatch application.
Version 4.38.0 is here and boy do we have stuff in the works:
– Tesla Watch app finally being worked on ⌚️

Tesla has previously refrained from launching a dedicated app for smartwatches, relying instead on third-party developers who have created applications to provide some level of functionality. In July, a software developer showcased a potential app designed specifically for the Apple Watch, highlighting the demand for such features among Tesla users.
Current coding indicates that Tesla is not limiting its efforts to a single smartwatch platform, as it appears to be developing an application compatible with multiple systems, including Apple, Garmin, and Android. This broad approach could benefit a wider audience of Tesla owners.
As Tesla continues to refine its application offerings, the potential introduction of a smartwatch app represents a significant step for owners who have eagerly awaited this integration.
