Known issues

• When updating from the old myPhonak app (version 4.0.6 or earlier) to the newly designed myPhonak 6.1 some users lost pairing between their app and hearing aids forcing them to re-pair. This was not intended. Users updating from the recent myPhonak 6.1 to myPhonak 6.2 are not expected to lose their pairing. However, if users are still on version 4.0.6 it is possible they could lose pairing when updating to version 6.2.

Known requests

• Mentions of Remote Support in the app do not make it clear that an appointment is required.

• CROS app compatibility
