The following information summarizes the technical details included in the WiseOS 2.2.11 update, released on February 22, 2023.
Multiple enhancements as well as several bug fixes have been included in this update for a better user experience. Among them, is the ability to update your Wisephone more easily. Going forward, you’ll now see a new dot show up by the Settings Tool on your home screen. Once you tap on Settings, you'll see a simple way to get the latest updates to your Wisephone at the top of your screen.
*The WiseOS Version will vary depending on the package that is needing to be downloaded/installed.
NOTE: WiseOS updates are done incrementally, which means that you will need to install
each update in order, one after the other, until you reach the latest version. The
notification dot will remain until the WiseOS is fully updated to the latest version.

As part of the fixes, we squashed two pretty sizable bugs that many of you have run into. The first is that some of you have had trouble synchronizing with the family portal - tools, contacts, and pin changes - so that's now solved. But the bigger one that many of you have been really frustrated by is the echo when you’re making a phone call. We know how difficult it’s been for many of you to deal with this, and have ourselves been frustrated at how challenging it’s been to fix the problem - but it’s finally fixed.
NEW RELEASES/IMPROVEMENTS:
New Music Tool
The Wisephone Music tool is a minimalist app that can play all the music on your device and is designed without annoying ads or unnecessary features that use a lot of RAM.
The controls are similar to other music players, so you can easily play all your favorite songs, and it can also run in the background, allowing you to use your device while still enjoying your music.
You'll be able to enjoy the richness of your favorite music and podcasts when you have update to the latest WiseOS. With this file-based app, you'll download MP3s and podcasts to create playlists then skip, shuffle, and sort libraries by albums, artists, or tracks.
Uploading Music (via USB): Tunes are loaded into the Music Player by means of a USB cable connection to your computer. There is no software to install. It is compatible with all systems which support USB 'plug and play' devices (Apple, Microsoft, Linux, etc.) Once the phone is recognized by the computer then it operates like a standard USB stick or external memory device. Copy your music files from the computer to the Phone via 'cut and paste' or 'drag and drop'. Music can be individually uploaded or deleted at any time using this method.
*You will need to toggle this Tool on from your Restrictions screen after you have successfully installed the update.
