My iPhone updated to the newest version of the Volvo Cars app overnight, version 5.30. Now the app says "Limited Functionality" when I login. When I tap on the notice to display more info, it states to allow data sharing via the settings tab on the car's center display. The box is already checked for data sharing with the Volvo on Call app. I never had this probelm until this latest update.

Anyone have this issue? I emailed support. I'm guessing there is a bug in the latest version.

That's what my screen looks like too. I'm certain your box is checked too, just like mine is. Otherwise the prior version wouldn't have had functionality either.

I really hope that’s a bug because the release notes say it only contains bug fixes and stability improvements. I never had air purification as an option (sounds cool) but did lose the function to ventilate the car instead of starting it a while back in one of the updates with no notice. And no price reduction with the reduced functionality…

In my 2021 XC90 I had the unlock/lock, remote start, vent without starting the engine and air purifier. They got rid of the vent and now the air purifier? I’m glad that this is specifically bug fixing update. 😁 I hope that Volvo fires the app developer.

Someone suggested deleting app and reinstalling. Just did that and everything is working

1. Updated to Volvo Cars iOS App to 5.30.0 yesterday with no issue and no “limited functionality” message.

2. Accessed Volvo App on Apple Watch. App verified that iPhone was nearby. Prompted to open Volvo App on iPhone which I did.

3. Apple Watch app updates and correctly indicates:
