Firmware update turns on automatic updates

I noticed that as I was installing the latest firmware update in my v3 and v3 pro cameras that Wyze decided to automatically turn on automatic updates without asking. I do NOT like companies deciding to change my settings for me without informing me. I’m about done with Wyze because of their buggy software, cameras, and shady things like this. They used to just work and be so good and now…they’re not. I’ve even noticed that Wirecutter recently pulled their recommendation of Wyze security cameras because of a serious security issue they downplayed. Full link here:

I will be working to remove these cameras from my house over the next year. I’ve had it with them.

I just updated all of my v3 cameras from 4.36.11.7095 to 4.36.11.8391. I updated each v3 one at a time and Automatic Updates remained off on all cameras.
