Accessing Unlatch Door mobile app icon

[haroldo]

I like the recently added "unlatch door" icon, in case of a frozen door handle.
However, I am fearful of placing it as one of my four 'quick access' icons on the main screen and widget, as it's too easy to inadvertently tap it with no way of latching door remotely. Note to Tesla app designers, please add the option to have a "are you sure you want to ..." message after tapping.
As such, to use it, I would have to move it to the top four, tap it, then replace it with another icon....something that might not be easy outside when it's freezing.
I looked through the app and couldn't find anything, but thought I'd ask, is there any way of unlatching the door without it being one of the four quick access icons?
As most quick access icons are available elsewhere in the app, I assume (hope) it's an oversight (okay, it was poor design), that will be corrected in a future update,
Thanks!

You could make it your quick access 5th icon, but no...no other way currently.

Thanks (as a 5th icon, it could still be inadvertently tapped)

When you need it, add it to the quick access list. Then replace it.

Hopefully you won't need it every day!

They should just add the ability to unlatch each door from the “controls” section of the app where you can already lock/unlock and open the frunk/trunk. Less likely for accidental presses there.

Or make it so that you have to press and hold for X seconds to trigger it instead of a single tap.

The Stats app on Apple Watch, has the solution.
They added a relatively new feature, a bluetooth icon. When tapped, within very near range (3-4 feet), there are options, including “unlatch door”. As it’s only available nearby, there’s no risk of an inadvertent mobile app tap.
There’s an Apple Watch complication, so you can set up a “car” Watch face, for one or two tap functionality.
This solution also allows you to open trunk, unlock, and start car, etc., in case your iPhone isn’t with you, or out of power.

Does the Stats app work even if you don’t have the Tesla app installed? If not, how can it work without an iPhone?

Stats app links to Tesla app.
Do many owners not have the Tesla app installed??
As to how…ask author, he replies quickly

Yes. Stats watch app works independently. It can unlock and start the car and open trunk/frunk using Bluetooth. No internet connectivity is needed and no iPhone is needed.

Stats app doesn’t need Tesla app to function
