The iOS app requires full access to the full and entire photo library in order to download or share event videos. This is a major privacy concern and I am absolutely unwilling to grant this level of access to my private photos. Is there a way to contact the dev team at Wyze to submit a request that this access requirement be lowered to “allow access to selected photos” or at minimum, remove this requirement to share the videos.

Cameras 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 unless access to all photos is given. I’ve played around with this and changed Wyze access to photos through the ios settings app as well through Wyze events. And continue to experience the issue n…

Like you, I refuse to give Wyze access to my entire iOS photo library. I don’t know what they’re going to do when I grant this permission. Maybe nothing, maybe something. This is probably disclosed in small print somewhere, but it should be prominently explained when changes to their app are that significant. As a workaround, as clunky as it is, I record my screen when playing back a video. I can then share it with whomever I like without abiding by Wyze’s highly problematic invasion-of-privacy request.
