My BMW app update - My Trips section
Hi all,
I've noticed that My BMW iOS app just got updated and while all listed new features and changes are there, this one I haven't been able to figure out. Maybe it will appear somewhere when I complete some trips after the update or maybe it doesn't work for G05. However, just wanted to confirm it with the others. Do you have it? |

I'm upgraded to 2.9.0 but I don't see a Trips section (U.S. 45e, so may differ between countries)
EDIT: it's on my app now (see post below) |

Yes, you can still access that section of the app, albeit in a different way. See the screenshots below. I've circled the area you need to press in yellow.
You'll need to click on the pics to make them full sized.

Nah, it's not that. Here's what the new one looks like. When I drove the car for a bit, this new item has appeared. It has instructed me to update apps and services in the car and then enable My Trips in Data Privacy menu. And now I have what's in the screenshot. If it is what I think it is - I'm very excited. Some other brands have had it for some time.
Forgot to mention. The app is 2.9.0 on iOS and the car is on 03/2022.52. |

Interesting, must be a new feature. I'm using Android app, and have yet to update. Here's the content of the update
This app update includes new and optimized features, e.g. - Customization of the app theme - New feature "My Trips" provides information on past trips - Transfer of contact addresses from your smartphone to route planning in the app - New area for service and maintenance in the Services & Store Tab - Planning weekly start times for climatisation/ventilation for non-electrified BMW vehicles The availability of individual functions depends on vehicle configuration and country. |

My app updated this morning, and that section is on the main page. I'm using a S22 Ultra.
Edit: haven't gone anywhere since updating to do anything in the car to finish setup. |

Same here. Wife used the car today and it logs each trip and consumption, split by electric and gasoline. Also estimates CO2 emissions and avg speed. Nice!
Just note, the car counts a "trip" differently than the app. Last edited by Flying Ace; 09-12-2022 at 07:55 PM.. |

My app is at 2.7.1, the App Store, nor my app itself, is not calling for an update per volodp's post. I'm wondering if that is due to the fact I have not driven the car lately but that seems like a stretch and I'm hoping that's not the case.

I set my iOS apps to update automatically, usually overnight. for some reason, the MyBMW app didn't, but when I pulled it up on the App Store, it showed UPDATE where it normally shows OPEN

Well, I dunno.... if I were to install iOS 16, it might show the app update being available for me but in the past, I don't recall the App Store being smart enough to tell you that you could have an update to an app you are using if you were on a diff iOS version. It normally tells you that you need a different version to run a certain app or that your app is out of date and needs to be updated. Things are always changing so I won't rule out the possibility. I'm not an early adopter so normally wait till the x.1 or x.2 versions come out before upgrading to a whole number iOS version. Time will tell I guess.

Not sure how it would do it but could it only be for those with a 45e?

For those of you that are seeing it, what version of iDrive SW are you on? (I'm still on 11/2021.50. I have never been prompted to shift to 03/2022...) So, wondering if it requires the App update and a certain version of iDrive SW (like 03/2022 or newer...)

The Mytrips area in the app didn't appear though until after my first trip in the car - I did get the note through idrive about the privacy settings as well. Updating the iOS and then subsequently getting the option to update the app may have been a coincidence but I don't think so... |

I was able to upgrade My BMW iOS app to 2.9.0 before I upgraded iOS to 16. So probably a coincidence after all. Sometimes App Store does not warn you of new app versions and you need to refresh it manually. And especially for the last few days because of the massive iOS downloads it's been somewhat lagging.
