- Compare your app version to the latest app version listed on our Release Notes & Firmware page.
- If you find that your Wyze app is out of date, head over to your mobile device’s app store and update the Wyze app.
- If possible, confirm that the firmware for Wyze Lamp Socket v2 and the attached Wyze Cam are both up to date.
- For the camera, you can check this by going to the Account tab > Firmware Update.
