No such luck for me reloading the app. Still on 5.7 with IOS 18.1.1.
When you go to the app store, then select/tap on your account, and perform a complete swipe down (and release) for available updates, basically, you're forcing the app to send you all current queued updates instead of their store pushing them down to you in increments.

PS. It might take a couple of full swipe-downs.

EDIT: When I did it on mine, it released over 60 app updates. BTW I updated my iPhone 48hrs ago

Got the update to work by looking at the what’s new and then did the update. So now on 5.8.2.

Regards and thanks for the assistance.

v5.8.2 seems to be the current release, at least for Apple iOS.

Hoping for the addition of PPOB monitoring again. Winter is coming and it’s such a convenience to have if I lose power in the house again.
Many of us are patiently awaiting the return of PPOB. I'm surprised it hasn't returned yet. Ford taughted this feature in TV commercials, and then dropped it from the app is if it's no big deal!

The Ford Pass app has very little utility until Ford opens Phone as Key for the rest of us. A huge issue with fobs that indiscriminately blast out codes is that it can and has been exploited. All I want is a button that allows me to control when that information is broadcast; it is FAR better if that button has some form of 2FA such as a biometric scan. Fortunately, nearly all of that functionality is already built into the FordPass app, save for the ability to actually start the car.
