Volvo On Call App - "Windows Open"
Would it not make sense if we were alerted to above rather than having to check it manually?

The VOC app does send notifications to an iPhone.
Check the settings: iPhone/Settings/Volvo On Call/Notifications/Persistent

Isn’t that just the Banner Style?
I get notifications if car unlocked etc..
But if windows open that only shows up if go into app manually?

Yes I see what you mean now.
Just had a play. If a window is open I don’t think the VOC app generates a ‘banner alert’ (but maybe this takes some time?).
But it does show up in the app see photos.

When I checked my car while sat in a theatre (before the lockdown), it said a window was open but I could not find anyway to shut the window from the app.
Two little changes could make a big difference with the app in my opinion:
1 - It should notify you as you walk away that a window is open the same as unlocked
2 - You should be able to close windows remotely

XC40 T5 R-Design Pro in Bursting Blue with Convenience, Intellisafe Pro, Winter Plus and Xenium Packs and a few other bits. Ordered July'19 picked up end of Nov'19.
It's quite easy to shut the windows remotely using the key fob. Might be a lot shorter distance than the app is capable of, but it's still an appreciable distance and can be out of line if sight (so much for safety concerns!).
Simply press and hold the lock button. If any windows are open, they will shut.
The reverse, pressing and holding the unlock button, will open the windows.
I believe that Volvo won't carry out any extra coding for the app in these strange times, instead they advocate, on the safety section of Volvo website, putting a large yellow post-it note on the dash saying "Shut the windows before leaving the vehicle".

Or use the climate control instead?
