Wyze App Crashing on iPad: How to Fix In Seconds [2023]

Recently, I installed the Wyze app on my trusty iPad so that it can act as a central hub for my Wyze cameras, only to notice the Wyze app auto-closing on the iPad.

Initially, I figured the Wyze servers were down again, but the Wyze app on my Samsung Galaxy S22 worked like a charm!

So I figured I should make a troubleshooting guide on how to fix a Wyze app crashing on an iPad.

To fix a Wyze app crashing on your iPad, update your iPad as this issue usually occurs on iOS version 12.5.5 and below. If the issue persists, check your internet connection and update the Wyze app. If none of the above works, uninstall and install the Wyze app.

Below I will explain the different troubleshooting steps to fix the Wyze app for iPad.

Update Your iPad

This is one of the few rare issues that Wyze has responded to and confirmed to be working on finding a fix, most probably due to the sheer number of users affected.

The official statement Wyze provided is as follows:

"We have received reports of the iOS Wyze app crashing before it opens for iOS OS versions 12.5.5 and below. We are looking into this as a top priority and apologize for any inconvenience you may experience at this time."

As the statement clearly states, the Wyze app for your iPad should crash only if it is on iOS OS version 12.5.5 and below.

If your iPad is not in its latest update, then a simple firmware update that takes you to the next iOS version should fix this issue entirely.

In order to update your iPad, simply follow the following steps:

  • Connect to your WiFi connection and make sure your iPad is charged 50% and above.
  • Open the Settings app.
  • Scroll down to the General option.
  • Tap on the update and click Download and Install.

This will download and install the latest update on your iPad.

If your iPad is an iPad Mini 3/2/1 or an iPad Air 1st Gen, then your latest update is going to be the iOS O version 12.5.5 and you won't be able to upgrade to a later version.

Update the Wyze App

Update The Wyze App

As of writing this article, Wyze has confirmed their latest hotfix patch of the Wyze app has successfully fixed the issue, and it is a simple matter of just updating the application.

The official statement Wyze provided for the fix is as follows:

"We released an iOS hotfix (app version 2.27.33) on Monday, January 3rd, and have verified that the crash issue on the previous version is resolved. If you have an iOS device using OS 12.5.5 or lower, please update to the newest app version. Thank you for your patience!"

And since there you cannot use the Wyze devices without connecting to the app, let's begin troubleshooting the Wyze app by updating it.

You can update your Wyze App by following the following steps:

  • Open the App Store on your iPad.
  • On the search bar on top, search for Wyze.

  • Click on the update button to begin the update process.

This will update your Wyze app. Login again after the update and enjoy your Wyze app.

Regular updates are crucial for strengthening the security of your device. Outdated firmware is a potential gateway for the many bugs, errors, or even hack attacks on Wyze cam.

Check Your Internet Connection

Check Your Internet Connection

If your Wyze app still crashes, chances are that this incident is probably not the fault of Wyze, and rather it is an issue with your internet connection.

Make sure your iPad has proper internet access from your WiFi. After connecting to the WiFi, try and check if other applications can access the internet.

If Wyze cannot connect to the local network, you may have issues with the WiFi. Check your internet router for any warning led lights that might be signifying server issues.

Check your router if the connections to the modem are proper. If possible, connect your internet router to a computer directly with an ethernet cable and check the situation.

If you still face issues, call your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and try to get the issue fixed before trying the Wyze app again on your iPad.

In times of adversity with the network, you can also observe error codes pop up on the Wyze app. Error code 42 on Wyze is one such example indicating issues with the internet.

Uninstall and Reinstall The Wyze App
