BMW News App Update

So this morning my iDrive updated the services and now the news app is all audio clips, no more articles. I'm disappointed by this change. I wish we had the option for both the old way and this one. See the below pictures for reference. I haven't messed with it enough so maybe the other news style is still there? Has anyone else seen this? No other changes I've noticed so far. Still on 07/2021.40

Do you actually read the news in your car? Or does/did it play the news like a podcast?

in traffic when I'm not moving yes, it would read them out loud to you before as well. Now, it's only a podcast style reading aloud based on the channel

My car came on 07/2021.40 as mentioned, I am going to guess there's a new update after mine.

Got a notification that the 21-7 was ready to be downloaded but ONLY IN THE APP! As I don't have a smartphone, I can't do it. For some idiotic reason, you can't run the app on a tablet or PC, only a phone. Why it's not an OTA I have no idea, but am pissed off about another stupid change. Taking it in to the dealer--who suggested they do it as some people have had issues, to get it done tomorrow. New phone in a few days, but don't want to wait.

You don't have a smart phone? Dealer can definitely do the update for you

Yeah, they are in about an hour. SA did mention some people have had difficulty doing it themselves, as I mentioned. Have no idea why. Will put the app on new phone and in the car. Seems like it offers some good stuff.

Took 2 hours at the Dealer--was there for 3 which was a PITA. 2 things of interest: they had exactly 3 new cars--2 were sold. Did get 5 new SUVs from a carrier while I was there, but wonder how many of them were already sold. Also, as to the S/W upgrade: I now have 2021-11. There is one after 2021-7 which is the one on topic. Don't know what it changed, and hadn't heard of it before Dealer installed it. One other change was adding a piece of insulation around the battery. Very minor and haven't bother to look at it.
