In the 2025 Holiday Update, Tesla added a Live Activity for Dog Mode on iOS. This lets owners easily keep track of the temperature inside their vehicle, along with a photo that’s automatically updated every minute of the interior of the car.

Tesla is now adding this feature to Android. This app update refers to several phrases that hint at this feature being added with this update, or will soon be added. These phrases include:

android_native_dog_mode_notif_channel_desc: “Live updates while Pet Mode is keeping the cabin climate set”

android_native_dog_mode_notif_image_title: “Pet Mode”

Tesla’s AI-based assistant in the app will soon let owners share photos and documents. This will likely let the assistant help with vehicle issues simply by the user sharing a screenshot of their app or a photo of the vehicle’s screen.

Some of the new phrases in this update that hint at this future coming in the future include TESLA_ASSIST_UPLOAD_FILE and useTeslaAssistAttachments.

Tesla recently also added the ability to use your microphone to write to Tesla Assist. However, this feature currently just transcribes your voice to text. In a future update, you may be able to talk directly to Tesla Assist.

When you start a conversation with Tesla Assist, you can continue it or refer back to it later.

Tesla now lists recent Tesla Assist conversations in the messages section, the same location where Tesla sends service and promo announcements.

These Tesla Assist conversations are only kept in the Messages section temporarily and automatically disappear after several hours. You can also manually delete them by swiping left on the message or pressing End in the Tesla Assist window.

With this update, Tesla is enabling the ability for users to set their Arrival Energy in the Trip Planner. The Trip Planner under Location allows you to plan a trip directly from the app.

Setting Arrival Energy is an important step in planning a trip, since you may have enough energy to get to your hotel but not enough to reach your next Supercharger or explore the surrounding areas.

This update comes as Tesla likely begins rolling out the Summer Update to employees. For this feature to show up, you’ll need vehicle update 2026.26 or later.

This app update enables the ability to upload custom wraps directly from your phone. Under Creations > Wrap, you’ll be able to upload a wrap and even enable it as the active wrap in your vehicle.

Requirements

• Vehicle update 2026.26 or later

• Vehicle with an AMD or Intel infotainment unit

• You will need to have a configured phone key in order to upload wraps

• Have not met the wrap storage limit

Tesla has added several interesting phrases in this app update related to robot, which could potentially be Optimus.

These phrases include the option to control the robot, including e-stop (emergency stop) and resume. There are also other phrases related to home data collection. Interestingly, there are several phrases related to a robot’s phone key and the pairing process.

While it’s still way too early to speculate this could be for consumer use, the use of a phone key could potentially be used to only let Optimus listen to commands from authorized individuals.

Some of the specific keys found in the app include:

• robot_alerts_filter_all

• robot_estop_slide_for_estop

• robot_home_data_collection_title

• robot_phone_key_connected

• robot_phone_key_error_cannot_communicate

With this update, Tesla has enabled Self-Driving stats in the app that we found back in February. The UI has changed since then to better match the Self-Driving app that’s available in the vehicle.

In fact, the app and the vehicle share the same code for rendering the Self-Driving stats. The UI in the app is a webview, while the vehicle also uses HTML to render the Self-Driving app.

The Self-Driving Stats in the app include a new Self-Driving section that shows your percentage of miles driven on FSD.

Opening it up, it shows the same stats as the vehicle, including miles driven on FSD, percentage of miles on FSD since FSD v14.2, how many days you’ve used FSD in a row, and more.

This isn’t just for HW4 vehicles. The stats are also available for HW3 vehicles that have received FSD v14 Lite, which is currently rolling out.

With this update and the upcoming Summer Update, Tesla is adding support for uploading custom vehicle wraps through the Tesla app.

Custom vehicle wraps are simple PNG photos, so users can easily share and save them on social media.

By saving these images to their phones, users can upload them directly through the Tesla app under Creations > Wrap.

The app will display your vehicle with the wrap and allow you to upload it directly to your vehicle without touching your USB drive.

The app decompile also reveals that there is a limit to the number of wraps you can add, with the app including phrases such as “Wrap Storage Full” and “Your vehicle has reached the wrap upload limit. Replace your oldest uploaded wrap with this one?"

Requirements

• A vehicle with an AMD or Intel infotainment unit

• All vehicle models are supported

• You will need to have a configured phone key in order to upload wraps. Simply being logged in to your Tesla account won’t be enough.

• Have not met the wrap storage limit

This feature requires Tesla vehicle update 2026.26.
