No useful release notes because this is not a useful app. I won't waste my time with it. Deleted it from my phone long ago and life has been so much better without it.
Not really sure that's true... Is it a perfect app? No, but I can do straight-forward things such as start my car remotely on a cold day, see what my battery level is at a glance... it does those just fine

It’s an Easter egg, it only shows up in April
I think I must be missing something because in FordPass I do have a frunk button that functions. I just picked up my car yesterday so super green and still getting to know everything about the car and functions!

I usually 'force stop' Fordpass, or disable BT for this very reason as my home office is right next to my garage, and I go in and out of the garage many times per day to work in my shop. I hate the MME 'waking up' and welcoming me every time I walk past.

I'd REALLY love it if there were a way to identify my local area as 'my house', and selectively turn off auto-lock and welcome on approach. I'd much rather that BT changed behavior when parked 'at home' and simply woke up when I touch the door button.
When you shut off your car, it asks if you want to shut off the "Alarm System". When you answer "Yes", it shuts off the sensors that wake the car to greet you. Then, opening the car door, wakens the car. This feature allows you to walk in and out of the garage without disturbing your car until you need it.

That's good to know. Thanks

Maybe the frunk button is hidden inside for future use.
This forum keeps surprising me…

Why would Ford release such simple functionality for some users and leave the rest waiting?

The frunk button appeared on my app as soon as I linked my iPhone, and I’m still on 1.7.6.

My understanding is that it was a non functioning button and its now removed

Yes, this would be nice. But IMO may not be as easy as it sounds to implement (and not as high a priority relative to other functions and UX enhancements).

Does someone have attached or detached garage? Nearby neighbors/people or none? Is "my home" an apt/condo bulding? Can it be done? Yes. But I can see people getting tripped up with the wrong settings and leaving their car unlocked by mistake, or an update resetting and also tripping up people.

And while it occasionally is slow to recognize, or require me to use the pillar to lock and/or screen to start (NKD) the car starts far more than it doesn't and I've only carried keys in my pocket a handful of times since.

You’re good. The early 21s don’t have the frunk button yet, it’s (hopefully) coming via a software update. Anything built after June of 21 is up to date.

Not sure if it’s the new app version or my new 2.5.3 update but app has difficulty showing charge times in the blue banner after plugged in but waiting for scheduled time. I am having to remote start the car to properly refresh the app and it does and pretty quickly the status on FP goes back to not showing charge start times in the blue banner.

observing this only with 4.13.0 FP and OTA 2.5.3 both of which updated recently. Was fine before that.

I found it easier to turn auto-lock = off, and leave sensors on for when I DO lock the car when I am out. easy to hit the physical 'lock' button on the door as I exit, and then the car still welcomes me and unlocks upon approach. I don't want to have to change settings to turn alarm on and off.

On my phone over 40 apps (I stopped counting but it has to be > 50%) do not have change logs. Can you send emails to those companies as well, including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, Zoom, American Airlines, and more.

Thanks
yeah I pointed that out on some of the early updates and even posted a screenshot showing it, but people don't want to hear that, they'd rather just complain as if this is the only app that is like this because it fits well with the false "Ford sucks at absolutely everything software-related and can't do anything right at all in any way" narrative.

4.13.0 is now available on Google Play. Just updated my phone.
I went to go to this and apparently I hadn't even updated to 4.12.1 yet. ?

(which by the way, did have release notes, mentioning a Mach-E change, which was more than HBO Max or Instagram does, or Google Duo, which has very old "What's New"... in other words, it's actually lying in the release notes...)
