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.

App was working until version 7

Version 7 update broke functionality unable to connect to the controller within the app. I can still access the control via browser. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app and still unable to access or add a controller.

In theory good, but not.

There are many things to like about this app, as you are given a lot of flexibility. However, I am never able to connect to my LEDs. And it doesn’t help that they randomly turn on as well. When that does happen, I can’t turn it off because I can’t connect.

Connectivity issues

Connected to my device at first, then had issues with needing to be re-paired multiple times. Now not connecting at all… Can I get some help please? 🙏🏼

Not user friendly

This app is really setup poorly and not user friendly at all. Would love to see some changes to make it easier to use and more consistent.
