Volvo app setting 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hi, I use the Volvo app v 5.8.0 on Android. Browsing I saw an option to display the "old style" home page and I selected it, thinking I could revert back if I didn't like it.

Well, I don't like it, but now can't see any option to go back to the car pic (like the pic I screengrabbed from the Play Store. What I'm now stuck with is the other pic.

I've raised it with the developers but got no response. I'm wary of deleting/reinstalling the app in case it loses the link between me, the car, and the app

Any ideas how I can get the latest home page back?

I did the same, then like you didn’t like it. So I deleted it, re-installed it and all is well.

You can uninstall and reinstall without losing anything (apart from the old design)!

Phew. Thanks Rockford. Done it. Back to the "new" look. Load off.

Note to ourselves. Don't mess with stuff

OMG guys! I think that when you were changing from the previous design, the app said you could revert it anytime. So, if you go to Account (the most right icon in the footer) and select "App Settings", at the bottom of the screen you'll see red link saying "Switch back to previous design". At least that's what an iOS version shows.
How hard this could be? Are you stopping your car, stepping outside and locking it anytime something you don't understand pops up at the main screen?

No. It doesn't show the option to revert in android.

I wouldn't have asked the question otherwise.

Well Mike, I'm sorry then, that's a lousy UX flaw

I'm on Android, and can switch from the new format, to the old, but not then back to the new.!!.

Exactly. The only way in android is to uninstall/reinstall.
