Are you trying to connect using your home Wi-Fi (or wherever your cameras are)? Did you give the Wyze app “Local Network” access? These topics might be instructive:

I too am having issues. I can connect on my pc on Wyze Web Live. will not connect via phone. IOS 18. Major issues. I have forced the app closed no change, power cycled the camera no change, I have restarted my router as well.
You have to go into your iOS settings and grant the wyze app local network access. This is a new “feature” in IOS 18.
Settings > Apps > Wyze >> Local network enabled.

iPhone 13 updated to iOS 18.0 this morning.
Wyze app version 3.1.5 (3)
No problem loading cameras in Favorites or Devices, in groups or not in groups. Able to control pan/tilt on V3 Pan cameras OK. Able to watch µSD card video from several different camera types.
Doing this all via the WiFi at work while the cameras were at home.
It is only an issue when you’re on the same wifi network as the cams. They stream directly to your phone in this case but new IOS security feature blocks it. You have to do Settings > Apps > Wyze >> Local network enabled to make “same wifi network” connectivity work again.
Outside your network it works fine without changing that.

Mine still is not working even after going to the settings and making sure enabled. But works when i turn my WiFi off
FWIW, i also power cycled my cameras and restarted my phone to make sure everything had a fresh starting point.
I stopped at iOS 17.7 today since I saw a lot of news stories about Pi$$ed off people who updated to iOS 18.

Force close and reopen the wyze app (or just reboot your phone).
I might be wrong, but every new OS update being for a mobile or a desktop device brings your device closer to EOL not to mention making it run slower. For that reason alone I try and avoid updating my OSs as much as possible.

17.7 was just an important security update, so they say.

Incremental updates should be fine, full upgrades when they introduce new features are the problem. They usually are optimized for newer and upcoming hardware. The older hardware can barely keep up with the demands of the new OS.

Not that that’s intentional or anything.
I’m actually glad that my Pixel was only eligible to go up to Android 14. It runs it well (not quite as fast as 11 or 12 that came on it but plenty fast) but if it kept going it would end up as a paperweight, and I have no reason to spend hundreds when this one still serves me just fine. With the newer Pixels one of the selling features is like 5 OS updates instead of 2 or 3. I’m like, that’s not a good thing, they just realized they can’t force you to upgrade if they can’t push out a new demanding OS.

Exactly my sentiment.
I have a 26 year old laptop that I still use for one single piece of software. It still runs like a champ unless I try to surf the net, than it shows it’s age

You’ve got me beat by a few years. It runs one of the stripped down Ubuntu versions and solely acts as a host to ping and do some basic tests in my networking lab.
It would be useful for console/terminal connections too but I just can’t adjust back to the 4:3 screen aspect ratio.
I wouldn’t even dare attempt to open a web browser on it (it is rarely actually connected to the internet anyway).

Same here, the beauty of it is that can run both Classic MacOS and Unix based OSX. But as I said, besides that one single app is useless otherwise. I can turn it into a Plex server or something similar, but I have a 2008 MacPro quad core Intel Xeon with 16 TB internal RAID for that. That one I used for work until last year when I upgraded to 2023 MacMini. It still runs fine, has 32MB of RAM and SSD for a startup drive.
