What I’ve found is that recent app versions (I’m looking at version 3.14.0.807 on Android 16 right now) won’t play any of the Wyze sounds, and I have Wyze Sound 2 selected in the app at Account ➜ Notifications ➜ Push Notifications ➜ Notification Sound. I have attempted to change the notification sound setting here, but it has no apparent effect.
When I navigate at the OS level to the Wyze app’s App info ➜ Notifications and expand Other under Notification categories, I’m seeing things like “Wyze Sound 1 / About 34 notifications per day” and “Wyze Sound 2 / About 69 notifications per day”. If I tap Wyze Sound 1 its Sound is listed as “Default notification sound” instead of the expected “App provided sound”. I see the same thing if I navigate back to the previous screen and tap Wyze Sound 2.
My non-developer guess at this point is that they’re mucking with Android notification channels but not doing it in a way that makes sense to the end user and almost certainly not as requested in the Wishlist. It feels like they’ve hosed something, so as Android users we can no longer use the sounds they created for their app as our notification sounds, and we’re left with choosing something else to make our notifications stand out from other noise. I like that Android users seem to have choice with this for apps in general on that OS, but I’d like to be able to choose the actual app-provided Wyze Sounds for these particular notifications again.
