Just leave the app open a minute or two. The journeys will eventually reconnect with your device.

Yes, starting in 2016, inControl Apps (Contacts, Calendar, Music, Parkopedia, Accuweather) is standard as well as the Remote and JustDrive add-ons which I do not believe are compatible with 2015 vehicles.

I don't believe there is a premium version of inControl. However, Remote only works with 2016+ cars. Check the 4th screen in Remote (settings) to make certain you have journey tracking turned on.

Based on Jaguar's website, there is such a PRemium but can you guys who have the new info on your app, do you have Premium or regular?
In addition, per Jaguar, they also have updated it so you can monitor your car from your Apple Watch..which leads me to believe the update is only for Apple.
InControl | Remote Premium

I understand convenience of this app, but consider for a moment what you are actually enabling. By activating this feature you allow two-way communication over internet with your car. This includes information offered through your app, but it also includes other type of information available through your infotainment system, like your car's GPS coordinates, your contact list, and your call history.
Hopefully, you never have to deal with this, but if this information is uploaded from your car, it also means that it is stored, internationally, and it also means that it is much easier for law enforcement for any jurisdiction and international litigants to access it. So don't park your F-type outside your mistress' house unless you have bulletproof prenap, as you don't even have to be followed and photographed anymore for this to turn up.
For privacy reasons, I never activated this feature and never consented to data collection. Doesn't mean this data is not collected, but at least JLR doesn't have my permission to do so. Still, when I have to attend sensitive matters I leave my phone in the office and drive one of my all-analog classic cars.

We get that with new technology today such as those with smart home products such as Amazon's Alexa or Google Home where the product automatically records your conversations, to include random visitor's who don't know it is recording. The police can obtain warrants to go through the products and capture these conversations.
I don't have Apple, but I think it would enhance the ownership of the vehicle by being able to monitor your vehicle from you smart phone/watch.

I thought I read somewhere there were 2 versions of the inControl app. I believe I have the regular version and not the premium.

I did a little research: The "Remote" App is officially called inControl Remote Premium. There is no lesser version of the "Remote" app. I don't have Climate control, only because they decided not to remote start enable the manual transmissions for safety reasons. Remote is called premium because you have to pay a subscription fee after the initial free 5 year subscription runs out (mine runs out in 2020).

Considering that there's still no sign of the JustDrive app on Android, I'm not holding my breath for this update either!
