BYD AUTOv3.4.5
Released June 26, 2026Major
The latest major update resulted in a 0.31 star decline in average rating on Android. While smartwatch integration and regional expansion were intended to provide value, technical regressions in session management and key functionality have negatively impacted the user experience. The current build requires immediate stability patches to reverse the downward trend in sentiment.

Platform

How it played out
The average rating declined by 0.31 stars following the release, driven by stability issues and regressions in vehicle access features. While the update introduced requested smartwatch support and expanded regional availability, users report persistent logout errors and broken door handle integration. Momentum appears weak as technical friction currently outweighs the utility of the new feature set.
