Hi. Before I just updated I used to be able to go to the notification settings on my Android and able to change to a custom sound I have. I needed it really loud which the sounds available are not. Is there another way to do it? Or an I doing something wrong?

Android 10 \> Long-press Wyze icon on Home Screen \> App info \> Notifications \> WyzeMessage (the one with ~xx notifications per day) \> Advanced \> Sound

Just for ref:

Wyze app 2.44 \> Notifications \> Push Notifications \> Notification Sound \> Whichever (mine is set to Wyze Sound 1 but is overridden by the Android setting and sound chosen above)

OMG… I just figured it out. I had to actually activate the notification ONE TIME and now I see those options under Wyze Message. I can’t believe I just wasted two hours trying to figure it out.
