Wyze has no respect for push notification settings

Wyze has been on a wild streak of customer alienation this year.

My motivations for promotional products are set to off; and I double checked with ChatGPT that I shouldn’t have gotten the push notificationI teceived today. Here is the response:

“The Wyze notification at 3:15 — “One little cam, dozens of jobs / Meet Wyze Indoor Cam Pan…” — is unmistakably a product advertisement, not a camera/device alert. And your Wyze screen clearly shows Push Notifications → Promotional → News & Updates OFF. Wyze’s own documentation describes push notifications as including both device alerts and promotional notifications, and that promotional setting is intended to control the latter.”

I already ditched my Wyze cameras earlier this year when they bricked the SD card writing without subscription. Guess I’ll have to replace the last two Wyze products I hadn’t yet gotten around to: just two plugs.

I will report to the team that you are getting marketing notifications when you have them set to off, can you share what app version you are on?

As for bricking microSD card writing without a subscription, we have not ‘bricked’ that, there are a few separate issues we are looking into regarding microSD card recording on certain devices.
