It’s been a week. When will it appear in the Google Play store? The store still shows 2.5.28 which was released back in 26 August 2019. Do we have to be in the beta program or side-load an APK to get it?
Did you try to update the app ? if that doesn’t work uninstall the app first then go to the play store and search for wyze app then install it
You can’t update an app if Play store says there’s no update. I’ve been in the Play store on Android and on their Web site. They both say 2.5.28. I even happened to get a new phone recently, which, of course, entailed installing my apps. It installed the latest version displayed on the Play store: 2.25.28. Uninstalling and re-installing just givs me 2.5.28, which is the version displayed on the Android and Web versions of the Google Play store.
Do the Google Play Store app and Web site both show a version other than 2.5.28 for you? I don’t understand how that would be possible. (Granted, it’s odd that the Play Store app says it was updated on 26 Aug 2019, and the Web site says 19 Nov 2019. However, they both say 2.5.28.)
Play Store Web site
Maybe Play Store itself also needs updating?

Did you try it like this.
search for wyze app then install it
Is it an older phone? I don’t use an Android, but my understanding is that most of the phone manufacturers use their own build of the Android OS, which means that when Android releases OS updates, you have to wait for the manufacturer to release its own build of the update. Basically, if your Android OS is outdated, it may be that the August version of the app is the most recent one your phone supports. But I’m just guessing here.
I just loaded the app on my Samsung Tab A and got v2.6.42,
To my dismay.
You wanted an older version?
Yes, I’m in Beta, many times I’ve loaded a V2 FW and needed to roll the FW back.
@qlang243 The Play Store app is automatically updated by Google services.
@HDRock Yes. That’s how I found it in the Play Store app.
@nerdland It’s a new Nokia PureView 9 running Android One (as stock as possible and still run Google services).
I checked the store on a different phone and it shows 2.6.42 in the store. (I also used an incognito tab to check the store on my PC and it shows 2.5.28.)
I’ve since learned that Google will throttle an app’s rollout if the reviews aren’t good. Since Wyze’s rating is less than 4, that’s probably why I still see the older version. I guess I just have to wait longer for it to reach me.
That’s ironic. Given Android One’s objective to minimize late Android releases, it then turns around and holds up releases of Android apps.
The other phone is also a Nokia PureView 9 running Android One. It’s Google, not Android One throttling the rollout. Google is the only entity that controls the Google Services that Android One is forced to license (unless they want to go the route of Amazon’s “Android” tablets and create their own store).
Bottom line is: you have the latest OS but not the latest app. How is that any better?
I’m confused. How is what any better than what? (Also, it’s actually Android 9, because Nokia isn’t quite ready to release their build of Android 10, which is the latest version.)
Regardless, it’s 2.5.28 in the Google Play store app on a Nokia PureView 9 phone, the Google Play store app on a Moto G5 phone, and on play.google.com on my PC in an incognito tab, However, it’s the latest version only in the Google Play store app on a second Nokia PureView 9 phone.
That phone is touting Android One. The stated objective of Android One is quicker turnaround to releasing Android versions. That’s fine, I have no problem with that.
But now you’re saying that they are holding off releasing the latest version of the Wyze app. You don’t have the latest version of the Wyze app. That’s why you have this problem, that’s why you created this thread.
Compare that with the normal pace of Android releases. Sure the OS might be delayed a bit, but we get the latest version of the apps. This to me, is a better situation to be in.
No, I’m saying that Google is throttling the rollout of Wyze’s app because of its poor rating. Since the Google Play Store is a service provided by Google, Nokia couldn’t throttle app rollouts even if they wanted to.
Plus, even a Moto G5 shows 2.5.28 in its Play Store app. That’s a Motorola phone, not Nokia.
Please note that I’ve said multiple times that every Web browser on my PC (Chrome, Brave, and Edge) shows version 2.5.28 of the Wyze app on the Google Play store’s Web site. (I included a screenshot in my post.) You can ignore everything I’ve said about the phones.
P.S. I didn’t create this thread. Wyze did.
I just looked up the info on the app in Google Play on my Galaxy S10 running Android 9. I show the 2.6 version as current
I also looked it up on my Samsung S 4 awhile ago with Android 5 and it’s showing 2.6
There really is something wrong with the installed “Google Play” when it shows older versions
