I am experiencing what I perceive to be a change in Wyze app saving an event to photos function. I am asked as usual in a popup whether I want to give access to select photos or all photos. However, I can’t pick access to select photos, only access to all photos. And of course can’t save the event…

@wize-guy I found another forum thread specifically about V3 cameras and requirement for access to all photos in order to save events. A forum maven is part of that thread. I posted that I have the same issue in order to follow and get updates.

@Antonius The share button you circled gives me the same “All Photos” popup as the download button.

I just sent myself an event videos from one of my outdoor cams, not on cam plus. It went straight to my email and it is not saved in my iPhone photo album at all. This is what I get when I tap the share icon, I can send it anyplace I want and it doesn’t save to the phone unless I choose that. [Sha…

Just ran across the same issue. I tried to save off video by some other method but iOS app won’t even let me get around the photo access issue. App was able to send me directly to memory card to try and record off timeframe from storage, but that’s always hit or miss with trying to get recording sta…
