Default Sensus Navigation - can't find new apps

Hello,

I’ve had my XC40 for about 3 weeks now and I am loving it so far!

Once thing that I am a bit dissapointed though is the list of available apps to download and install

If I go to the download manager and search for new apps I get an empty list all fo the time
On the installed apps I can only see: Spotify, VOlvoID, Local Search, Weather, TunIn, Glympse, Park and Pay, Wiki Location, Yelp and Record&Send

I tried to uninstall one (Yelp) and now this is the only one that appear as new app to download and install

I tried to search for apps:
- while do it tethering from the phone
- while running android auto
- and now with the Sim card installed in the car

Still nothing

Is it the same for everybody?
I was hoping to have more of the apps that appear as Android Auto apps on GooglePlay

What should I do to get access to the rest of the android auto apps?
Some of them like Youtube or Whatsapp I have them already installed on my phone but can’t find them in the car

Your list of available apps is complete, that's all there is!

I believe I was getting confused with the Sensus and the Android/Carplay apps

It seems that the Sensus apps are the same and very limited to everybody...

When it comes to the Android/Carplay apps, I checked and the ones I have installed on my phone are meant to be compatible (like whatsapp to mention one) but they don't appear when I start Android auto in my car. Other do, like Telegram, but not other and I can't find a way to add them
