Scan WiFi not working
« on: November 02, 2019, 09:29:57 AM »
New Android (premium/paid version) user here . When I try to do a WiFi scan, I get the attached error message. After I enable the location permission per the prompt, it just freezes on the scan screen. This happens on both of my home networks. Both are standard 2.4/5Ghz WiFi networks with WPA2 security enabled. Suggestions?

I am using Android 10 on a Pixel 3a XL. I uninstalled the app but would like to try again when it's fixed. If possible, can you post an update here when it's fixed so I can try again then? Thanks for the update

Hi, it has been fixed in version 6.24.0, which has been released to 50% of users at the moment (the rest will get the update within a few days at the most).

Thanks, Tereza -- I'm watching the Google Play store; it's still on 6.23.9, but will install once the version is updated.
