It\u2019s unclear, however, if those devices are also supported as of today. GM says customers will see a notification in the \u201cWhat\u2019s New\u201d section of their vehicle\u2019s mobile app when digital key support becomes available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">With your digital key enabled, GM says you can automatically unlock your car door as you approach it without having to fish your phone out of a pocket. The car will lock again automatically as you walk away from it. Digital keys can also be shared with others, and can be suspended or deleted if your device is stolen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Only Samsung Galaxy devices with both ultra-wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) will work, however, including the following:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Users of some Samsung devices in the US and Canada can now lock, unlock, and start select GM&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":879369,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[517,168,2635,165,3,170,172,74,6145],"class_list":["post-879368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-apple","tag-google","tag-google-pixel","tag-mobile","tag-news","tag-samsung","tag-tech","tag-technology","tag-transportation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/879368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=879368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/879368\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/879369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=879368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=879368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=879368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
