Hi, folks!
Here is a copy of an email going out to everyone now. It’s really important so make sure you read it!
Terms of Service and Security Updates: Update your firmware and app to the latest version to best protect your account and see what’s changed in our terms of service.
Hey, friends!
It’s a new year and that comes with some important updates!
Protecting you and your security is always top of mind, and for us to do that, we’ll need you to:
- Update your Wyze app to at least 2.27
- Update your Wyze Cam firmware
This will make sure your devices are in tip-top shape so you can breathe easy and know Wyze has your back.
We’ve also updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Statement to reflect new products, new services, and new countries. (Hey Canada, we finally made it!)
Take a read to learn more about all the updates.
Update your Wyze app to 2.27 or above
Wyze routinely releases security updates that require our users to be on the most recent version of the app.
For your security, we’re requiring all Wyze apps to be updated to 2.27.32 or above by January 11, 2022 . After this date, older versions will need to be updated before you can use the app.
If you aren’t sure if your app is updated, you can check in the Wyze app by opening the Account tab, going to About, and finding the number under the Wyze logo at the top of the page. If you’ve already updated, then you’re all set.
To update your app, please search for “Wyze app” in the Apple App Store or in Google Play. You could also tap on the links below and follow their instructions:
Update your Wyze Cam firmware
To ensure the most consistent and secure operation of your products, it’s important to keep them up-to-date. There have been many important security updates in the last year, but they may not be compatible with previous app versions.
As a result, we’re requiring that all Wyze Cam v2, v3, Pan, and Video Doorbell products be updated to the current firmware version. We recommend you update them yourself to control the timing. Otherwise, we will likely push updates to outdated devices beginning February 1 through February 15, 2022 . (Updates to Wyze Cam Outdoor are coming soon - stay tuned.)
To update, open the Wyze app and tap the Account tab > Firmware Update, then check that all your devices are “Up to Date”.
If you really want to be on top of it, keep an eye on the Wyze News section of the forum for more details.
