    Yep same issue here, yet another poor update from Blackvue.

    Does anyone actually test this rubbish before you release it.

    Yes!  Same issue with recent iPhone and IOS 12.  My phone shows that the BlackVue wifi is connected, but the app says it isn't.   Kind of a problem since I have to be able to open the wifi part of the app for several reasons including connecting to the Cloud service. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.    :(

    I wonder if they check these threads.  It seems that they're going to have to fix this on their end.  Just got the camera a couple of weeks before the release of IOS 12.  Not happy.

    hopefully they will, had ours about 6 weeks now, when it works it's great, when it gets messed up with these release patches it's a right pain.

    I just upgraded the BlackVue app to v.2.8 @ 3:24pm Pacific.

     

    It still kicks me out to the Settings for BlackVue instead of the WiFi connection.

     

    However, once I manually connect to the BlackVue unit's WiFi, I am able to access the its files and live viewing. Cool!

    Wait, what?  What do you mean "manually connect"?

    When you are not connected to the camera's WiFi and you power up the app, it will say, "Not connected to BlackVue Wi-Fi. Please connect to BlackVue Wi-Fi and try again." When you click yes, it takes you to the iOS settings for the app instead of the WiFi selector. So you need to get out of it and go to the WiFi selector.

     

    So you must connect to the camera's WiFi first so you don't go through that and go straight into viewing the BlackVue WiFi function.
