Android app automatically storing videos and pictures locally.. why?

@LDelSanto86

Why is simply viewing things creating albums on my phone?

Hey LDelSanto86

By design, when you tap an Event thumbnail (12-sec cloud clip) if it is the first time you have viewed it, it is downloaded from the cloud and saved to a cache on your device.

If you access the same Event again, it is loaded from the cache (assuming you haven’t Cleared Cache in the interim.)

Wyze app > Account > App Settings > Cache File Size > Clear

Clearing cache will remove any auto-saved Event videos from your device.

Check out this topic (especially the Postscripts section) for some useful detail on the Android file system:

Save Events Locally

NEW STOCK FEATURE IN WYZE APP as of 4/24/19 To access the new feature in app: Open the Wyze app and go to Events. Tap on an event you want to view. Tap the Download icon at the bottom. The new integrated feature will serve many folks needs. If you want to specify the download location the original post still serves (and the Postscripts are always good to know.)
