How do you get yourself out if you child lock yourself at the backseat??

You climb into the front seat and get out? (same as you would do in any other car with child locked back doors)

Roll window down and use exterior handle? Probably easier than climbing through the car.

I did exactly this, I ended up locking myself in the backseat accidentally. I just reached to the center display from the back and turned off the child-locks and was able to get myself back out.
Yup, if you door lock for child, you will probably window lock too. Would be nice if I can just use phone to unlock door or window etc..
I drove out to drop kiddo so just me and a kiddo..Call your wife maybe?
Thankfully I manage to flag someone walking by..
Again I think what I would have hoped is maybe the mobile app has option to easily unlock the door in situations like this...

I might have missed the context of this treat. If you are locked inside the car, in the rear seats, with child locks on rear door, won’t you just climb into the front seat and unlock the front door? If car is asleep, pressing the brake pedal will wake it up and gain access to the screen.
I don’t understand the question. Are you trying to figure out the ways your child can have gotten out by themselves?

There is a manual process to open the rear doors in the MY. Remove the mat at the bottom of the door pocket and there will be a small plastic cover. Open the cover and there will be a pigtail that can be pulled to open the door. This process requires some tools; screwdriver and needlenose pliers at least. I then used a plastic wire tie to loop around the pigtail and put the plastic cover and mat back in with the wire tie sticking out. Pulling on the wire tie now opens the back door. I don't think a child could pull on the wire tie hard enough to open the door. I guess one could tuck it in a little so it doesn't stick out.
I checked and the current manual says that this is no longer there... (But maybe it is wrong.)
When I got out of my car to go into the back seat my display was still on the entire time and I had my phone with me.
I never got the situation where the display turned off, but maybe the phone might have been able to do something to turn it back on?
I havent tried it, but things like turning on the AC, Unlocking the front door, or any other thing to access the car should work.
I can totally believe that someone accidentally locked themselves back there like you mention. I cant believe that someone in that situation would somehow need to "flag down a passerby" to help them, though.
The OPs real thrust seems to be "I would like to be able to child lock and un child lock the rear doors with the app". I am not sure what any unintended consequences of having that be able to be done by the app would be (someone playing pranks and remotely child locking a vehicle to prevent passengers from easily getting out?). but I dont see where this is a huge concern.
Folks who keep saying to climb to the front are assuming everyone can do that.. instead assume there are people who cant do that.. then add to that a crying toddler right next to you.. 
But thankfully the latest update finally did something right, now you can choose to child lock 1 side of the car! So no more worries of getting locked in the back with child lock on both sides of the car now.
