Mercedes Me Portal no longer supported on I phone

[Farmer boy]

I had a shortcut on my iPhone that gave me the vehicle tracking functions of the Connect Portal on my iPhone yesterday I had a message that it is no longer supported. And could not access this feature.
I do have The Mercedes Me app so a number of functions are still available on my phone. What I have lost is parking time monitor and more useful Geofencing. Geofencing give me reassurance when I park overnight when away from home. Is there any way of accessing it on my phone without having to use the web browser?

Only way I can access geofencing on my iPhone is to go through the me.secure.mercedes-benz.com site - as you say, the app doesn't have it. Why is it a problem using Safari rather than the app ?

Thanks for your reply. I will need to use Safari from now on. The app was handy and I could easily navigate to the geofencing. I have bookmarked the web portal and I suppose in time I will get the hang of it. Seems a shame that paid services are not incorporated into the Mercedes Me app.
Just entered the location of the hotels I will be using next week using the postal on my PC. Maybe the geofence and parking time will be worked into the MM app when it’s next revised.

Had a play in Safari and added the portal to home screen. Works fine and is easy to find. Will just have to learn the new clicks required to get to the different functions that I want to use.
Thanks again wivenhoe

My Mercedes Me app gives me geofencing under the Valet Protect option, accessed from the settings from the little gear cog symbol, or is that something different?
