My BMW app not updating, any solutions?

I’ve been having some trouble with the myBMW app lately. It just won’t update properly, and I’m really in the dark about the current status of my vehicle. Here are some things I’ve tried:

  1. Logout and Login: I’ve logged out of the app and logged back in, but it didn’t help.
  2. Update the App: I made sure my app is the latest version, but still no luck.
  3. Vehicle System Reset: I tried resetting the vehicle’s infotainment system, but that didn’t solve the issue either.
  4. Network Check: I checked my mobile data and Wi-Fi connection, and everything seems fine.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I’m specifically looking for some troubleshooting tips. Did you have to reset anything else, or maybe there are some hidden settings I might be missing? Help would be greatly appreciated! :crossed_fingers:

I’ve had similar issues with the BMW app not updating. Often, it comes down to connectivity problems. Make sure your phone is connected to a strong Wi-Fi signal. Sometimes, just toggling airplane mode on and off helps!

I’ve noticed that app version compatibility can also be a big issue. Are you using the latest version of the BMW app? It’s worth checking that in your app store.

Good point! If your device is running an old OS version, that could affect app updates too. Compatibility is key!

Also, don’t forget to check your device settings! Some background data restrictions can prevent the app from working properly. Just go to your settings and make sure the BMW app has the necessary permissions.

I’ve had connectivity issues due to too many devices connected to my Wi-Fi. If possible, try disconnecting some devices or resetting your router.

Permissions are indeed essential! Sometimes simply restarting your phone can help with those settings sticking.

Oh no, the app not updating drives me crazy! Have you checked the app store for any known issues or outages? Sometimes they’re not always timely with their fixes.

Very true! You could also try deleting and reinstalling the app if all else fails. It sounds basic, but it works sometimes!

That’s so true! Reflecting on my past tech woes, it’s often the simplest solutions that save the day. Tech can be so unpredictable!

Tech problems can be maddening! Have you explored whether your account is in good standing? Sometimes account issues can restrict access to app updates.

I had a funny moment where I thought my app was broken, but it was just my phone being a little slow. Sometimes a quick reset does wonders.

I’m having the same issue with my BMW app not updating! I’ve tried reinstalling the app, but it hasn’t worked. Anyone have suggestions?

Have you checked for updates in your app store? Sometimes it doesn’t update automatically. Go to the settings and see if there’s a new version.

Yes, hscott! I did that and the app finally updated after I cleared the cache. It’s worth a try if others haven’t done it yet.

16

I’ve had issues too. What worked for me was uninstalling the app entirely and then installing it fresh. A bit of a hassle but effective!

I don’t get why such a reputable brand has these app problems. Shouldn’t it just work flawlessly? Anyone else frustrated?

Totally agree, george18! It’s like they focus on the cars and forget their tech side!

I had to reset my phone’s network settings. It sounds extreme, but for some reason it made the app start working again.

That’s interesting, rgallagher. I haven’t tried that yet. Is it easy to do? I wouldn’t want to mess up my other settings.
