Tesla is adding Passkey support in an upcoming app update. Passkeys allow your device to authenticate locally with a fingerprint sensor or Face ID and log in to apps or websites without a password. Instead, passkeys use private and public keys to authenticate, making them more secure than passwords that can be guessed or brute-forced.

While passkey support is not active yet in this app update, new phrases point to it launching soon, including:

• passkey_eligible

• passkey_status

• passkeyEnrolled

Tesla appears to be upgrading the Tesla wallet in the app. The wallet holds your saved credit cards, Tesla credits, gift cards, and bank account details.

There are no clues about what the updated wallet will include, but it could store more items, like Tesla Key Cards, display your phone keys, and more.

Some of the new strings found for v2 of the wallet include:

• V2EmptyWalletMessage

• V2WalletCardDetails

• V2WalletSetAsDefaultButton

Tesla is making a handful of Powershare changes in this app update. The Cybertruck already supports V2H, and several other vehicles, including the new Model Y Premium models support V2L. This update could introduce improvements to the Powershare feature for these supported vehicles.

While the new Model Y L also supports V2H, it appears to support it only at 2.4 kW with a Powerwall, while the Cybertruck can support up to 11.5 kW.

These are some of the new strings in this app update related to Powershare:

• isVehiclePowersharingToPowerwall

• isVehiclePowershareV2HPWIdleStandby

• powershare_status_fault_discharge_limit_powerwall_description

• powershareIcon

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
