This latest beta seem to fix the first event of the day playback issue for my iPad (7th gen) and iPhone 11 on Cam V3.

Awful on iPad. The last stable version fixed the flip flop screens. The beta brought it back. The stable has a good Menu UX at the top. The beta has wierd new spread out menu. The worse part is it now interferes with the iPad quick menus and so you can’t open the “account” tab without activating the quick menu. Then the screen flips to portrait mode.
Did anyone actually test this on a tablet before release. It’s like regressive code was brought back.
You finally had the flip flop landscape to portrait problem fixed and working very nicely across all the pages and settings after 5+ years of the issue and in one fled swoop that’s all gone and we’re back to crap.
I would post your findings, including a log as well. This will allow Wyze to research and see what is happening on your device. As a Beta App, they need as much information as possible.
I always include the OS version on the device I am using and Firmware of the any affected Wyze Devices. But at a minimum, I would include a log so they can review it to see what is happening.

Even as a non-iOS/iPadOS user, I get frustrated reading things like this, and it’s why I posted this recently:
I agree with @spamoni’s advice to document your experience in some detail. Hopefully that kind of effort will be a benefit to your fellow iPad users before this goes into production.
Thank you for testing and taking time to comment!

It’s fairly simple. It was always screwed up with flip flop back and forth portrait/ landscape creeen. Then the new UI in the current release fixed it all - the problem existed for years and they were fully aware. The beta has reverted to flip flop and a goofy top menu that makes no sense.
I just switched back to the release version. Problem solved. - till the “beta” gets released and screw’s it.
There is no longer any difference in iOS and pad os. They are all now consolidated as one OS version across devices. I’m running the beta OS 26, but me running that - isn’t the problem with the new beta Wyze app. The release Wyze app works perfectly just as it did a week ago on the release iOS 18.
The Wyze app beta behaves like Wyze app 2.x when it flip flopped pages. The fix to random pages being flipped to portrait while holding the iPad in LS was all fixed in the 3.x releases. It’s 100% like they accidentally hauled in some old code.
It’s bad.
This of course is a non issue on iPhone as it’s naturally in portrait. But a wall mounted iPad and you get portrait pages and can’t flip them or get back to LS pages. Yet the initial page is in LS and correct. Except an added awful lookin menu that was nice and now scales all across the page, blocking the iPad quick menu action. So you end up with a weird overlay - flash to portrait- can’t get out of app situation.
I hear what you are saying. But being a Beta Tester, it is always good to provide the logs so things can get corrected if needed.
In any event, glad it is working on the production release.

I’m not sure how accurate that is, especially when Apple recently put out separate press releases for iOS 26 and iPadOS 26:
I understand that Apple is moving to OS version numbers designated by year in order to make tracking versions easier for consumers, but this indicates that iOS and iPadOS are still going to be two distinct entities, and that makes sense given what other users have recently reported, like how the Wyze app’s Monitoring tab is hosed in iPadOS until a user does a pull-down-refresh, but in iOS it reportedly works as expected without the additional user intervention. As you’ve indicated, the navigation in iOS and iPadOS is different, too, with iPadOS having that header strip, like what’s shown in this post. That’s why I’m saying that I think Wyze’s beta recruitment should specifically target iPad users, because there apparently are very real differences.
I wouldn’t go that far and say it fixed all, only portion of the app works fine in landscape mode, the rest is a flip flop fiasco.
1892969 log submited, notifications are using system defaults now, no matter what I have selected in the app. This changed with the last test release.
WyzeAndy;
What is the point in providing a “What Changed” link in the download screen presented while my telephoto cam is being updated with its latest version, when the page it links to, doesn’t list any changes? No bugs fixed, no useability improvements, nothing?
You must be new here. Documentation is a yoke, as is the app which they fix and then revert to months ( versions ) old code stuck into new code. They perfectly fix one thing. And it works flawlessly for Two-three more versions and boom, the old broken code is reintroduced. It’s like they get a new coder and just hand them a floppy with source code. Like the latest release fixed tons of problems that had persisted for years, the next ( recent ) beta reverted all the broken parts of the prior 2.x release fork.
FW changes documented - sir hold my beer. There have hardly been any incling of what changed / improved / fixed since I first got a Wyze camera in 2018.
No issues since the update when it came out…
What are you running for hardware / OS because iPad is borked. As is today’s release
Well today’s release still has broken menus. The current release works fine
Here is today’s “RC” with garbage menus and flip flop pages and the current mainstream release.
Today’s RC - notice the top “account” isn’t accessible at all as it runs into the iPad top info bar
The mainstream ( which looks and works fine. No flip flop horizontal - portrait
Create a Log, contact Wyze and get a ticket as well. These images and the logs will help Wyze with correcting any issues.
This is a User to User Forum and the additional information would be needed for some of us to escalate it for you.

Ya, the release works, the is RC broke. I’m not putting in any more effort. They continue to slip old code back in and reintroduce problems to fixes that were already fixed. It like the folks coding are just random people.
Ok, but understand that if there is an issue, then it could make it out to production without the appropriate information being passed on.
