Yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon I had a message notification from the MySkoda app asking for consent to data transfer. (There was a grey circle on the app icon to indicate there was a message, as well as the message showing in my 'phone notifications).

As the message had some reference in to improving public safety, I assumed Skoda might be planning to reintroduce the Driving Score app and opened the app and checked that I had consented to data transfer. I also noticed that I was asked to select a service partner which puzzled me as I had done this when the app first came out, selectring D M Keith at York. However, I did so again and exited from the app.

The grey circle on the app remained however as did the message in my 'phone notifications, so I opened the MySkoda app again and noticed that I was again asked to select a service partner, which I did, as well as checking data transfer consent(s).

Exiting the app, the grey circle and message notification were still there and so I opdened the app again and found once more that I was being asked to select a service partner, which I did, also checking data transfer consent(s).

This cycle was repeated a number of times and eventually the grey circle and message notification disappeared.

Has this happenedf to anyone else?

Nope, I just opened the App, apart from a software update nothing like you describe.

My app was "asleep" on my phone as I don't really use it that much.
