What's New in WLED

7.1

April 5, 2026

* Smoother App Switching: Fixed an annoying issue where the app would drop its connection to your devices too quickly when you opened the app switcher or moved to another app. * Network Permission Alerts: Added a helpful warning banner that lets you know if the app is missing the "Local Network" permission needed to find and connect to your devices. * Snappier Performance: We've made big improvements to how your device list loads and scrolls. Filtering and sorting is now faster, and the whole app should feel much more responsive. * Update Support: Added support for installing over-the-air (OTA) software updates on devices running WLED 0.16.0 and newer. * iOS 16 Fixes: Resolved a gesture conflict on iOS 16 that was getting in the way of easily toggling the power on and off. * Under-the-Hood Polish: Cleaned up some code and made various background stability improvements to keep everything running smoothly.

Functionality

This is the best LED Software on the planet. I have installed this product over 1500 times. The app is advanced for those that like the thrill. But can be dumbed down to any level for beginner use.

Pretty good, has a few bugs

You can do literally everything you need to do from this one app, you don’t need to use a pc or anything, its great. Ton of useful features too. One thing I’d like to see improved is the sideways swiping. I’d like it if we could disable that because its way too easy to accidentally swipe sideways to a different menu, and its even easier to accidentally delete your lights while you’re trying to adjust their brightness. Maybe add an option to disable horizontal swipe gestures?
