Common Watchla for Tesla App Problems and Troubleshooting Steps
Android, iOS, or macOS operating system users may encounter a problem where an app will display a black screen for a few seconds before crashing, with or without an error message. However, there are a few methods you can try to fix this issue:
- Sometimes, this problem may be caused by a temporary loading issue. To fix this, go to the recent applications menu on your phone, usually accessed by the first left button, and close the app that is experiencing the issue. Then, re-open the app.
- If that doesn't work, try doing a hard reboot of your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Android device by simultaneously pressing and holding the "Home" and "Power" buttons for up to 10 seconds, then release them and hold the "Power" button until the screen turns on. After that, try opening the app again.
- If none of the above solutions work, another option is to wait for the phone battery to drain and turn off automatically. After that, charge the phone and turn it on and try opening the app again.
- If the problem persists, you may need to uninstall and re-install the app. Re-installing the app will restore all settings.
- If the app still does not work, you can try installing older versions of the app.
Please note that, Good luck or re-installation may not always work and it may vary based on the app, phone and the problem.

Most commands for eligible vehicles are now end-to-end authenticated and have 3 or more points of security validation, making communication with your vehicle even safer. - Unlike with many other official 3rd party apps, Watchla has ensured that your sensitive data is only stored on your device and not passed thru proxy servers or any 3rd party server. - Watch app UI completely re-written. - A critical bug that has to do with Bluetooth communications has been fixed. - Watchla has transitioned to WidgetKit based complications, for a much more consistent and reliable complication experience. - All Tesla owners facing command issues on the old API should see their issues fixed in this new version of Watchla. - Many infrastructure changes and improvements. - Retrieving vehicle data is now much more efficient and quicker. - Watchla has a adopted an even stricter wake-as-last-resort policy ensuring that your vehicle is awaken as least as possible. - Tesla owners with Tesla China accounts will see a pause in service for the new Tesla API. We are working with Tesla's developer program to address this as quickly as possible. For those Tesla China account holders affected, Watchla recommends staying on the old API until further notice from Watchla. Lastly, thank you to the Watchla community for your patience and support during this transition period. Many updates over the following weeks to come.
