Tesla Now Shows Live Supercharging Status on iPhone's Lock Screen and Dynamic Island

[MacRumors]

Tesla updated its iPhone app on Tuesday with Live Activities support on iOS 17.2 and later, allowing you to view your vehicle's live Supercharging status on the Lock Screen, and in the Dynamic Island on iPhone 14 Pro models and newer.

Supercharging status updates will begin automatically, as soon as your charging session begins, according to the release notes for the latest version of the Tesla app.

Within the Live Activity widget on the Lock Screen, you can view your Tesla vehicle's current battery percentage, the time remaining until the charging session is completed, the charging output in kilowatts, and more. You can also view the charging time remaining at a glance in the Dynamic Island on newer iPhone models.

The update was brought to our attention by Tesla news aggregator Sawyer Merritt, and our image is based on a screenshot from Deandawiz.

Good to see

I'll be using a SuperCharger (no other option) on an upcoming road trip, with my Chevy Bolt, and will look forward to this feature.

Very cool and much needed.

THIS is cool

They didn't have that? Been a standard feature for modern EV's for quite awhile.

EVgo? ChargePoint? Which charging service offers this as a live activity?

Rivian has supported this for a long time. Surprisingly, Tesla hasn't had it.

who else?

Finally! I had been wanting them to add this for years. It’s one of the best use cases of this API.

No CarPlay Ultra though? Pass.

The Tesla app is really very very good.

Stellantis on the other hand 💩

It will work with other cars? IS this a supercharger app or a Tesla app. I figured it be tied to the vehicle and that's where the data would come from.

This is awesome. Tesla keeps adding new features to my car and that’s one thing I love about it. I can honestly say unless someone major changes Tesla will always be my daily driver

From my understanding if you’re driving a non Tesla that’s compatible with the supercharging network you use the Tesla app to charge it.

Cool, I love that they are open with this stuff.

Various cars can charge at them now.

Sounds like it only works if you are charging a Tesla.

Nah - I've done a trial at the SC and any car charging gets the same info out of the Tesla iOS App

 

[averagenerd81]

Nice, this will be a positive update for the app. Our 2021 is still going strong and is nearing 100k miles, still getting new things each year.

Very happy got rid of my Tesla the other day. Hybrid Civic just feels so much better, and it has CarPlay. I just couldn't get used to not having that from the day I got the Tesla.

But I sure did like how many things you could do with the Tesla app. Remote control of so many things. And cameras.

Any reason you didn't switch to a different EV?

Seems odd to go Tesla to Civic Hybrid

What took so long? Seems like an obvious thing to have.
