The app changes really has a lot of issues, as you can see complaints on their forums.
Secondly, Cam Lite users were previously able to filter 'person' in the Events tab, but now they've "removed" it in an attempt to get people to pay for Cam Plus.
I had to revert to an older version of the app, install the apk, and then turn off App Updates to get this back.
Wyze are at that point were they are getting greedy and desperate to squeeze money out of their base, now that they've gotten some wider marketshare, to the point of doing some slimy tactics with pushing their subscription in subtle ways.

I had to find an older version v3.0.0 (519) that still had Person detection. I downloaded onto my Android phone, then I had to download another app called APKMirror Installer to install it from there. I found the steps to do this on the Wyze forums, when other people where pissed off and wanted solutions -- so you can google for the actual directions and links to old firmware there.
Then just make sure to go into your Google settings and disable app update for Wyze, or else it will replace it with current app version and you will lose Person detection. It's overall and easy process: download, install, disable update, takes less than 3 minutes, then you never have to worry about it again.
Couple things though:
1) the app APKMirror Installer is confusing, and meant to be so. it had in-app ads, so you might press install and it's actually an ad.
2) secondly, the Wyze app sometimes doesn't have the Person filter upon opening Events, but if you back out or close and re-open, it will return.
Overall, I recommend installing v3.0.0 (519) if your Events have a lot of Motion (like trees swaying, cars, etc), that get your Events flooded. You can use Person filter to get straight to the important stuff.
Wyze cams are absolute garbage value now compared to TP-link which offers a superior product with no subscription fees for person detection/etc. Tapo C120 takes a steaming dump all over this camera and can be had for just a couple more dollars. When you factor in needing a subscription for anything useful there's no price at which Wyze is attractive.
I've been there since the beginning like everyone else. I pay for a single cam plus subscription and everything else is running on cam lite. It might leave some things to be desired but for my basic security coverage it works reasonable. When somebody walks onto my property I get a loud phone notification and any events are recorded it's been some time since I've had to go to a camera and actually remove the SD card to view something. One of my latest purchases is the wyse s scale and I'm liking how it sends the data to my fitness apps for me to show my doctor pretty convenient for $15 delivered. I've got two of the new battery cam pro to install and that's going to be the end of my wyse purchases. I'm not going to subscribe with those I will only retrieve the footage if something happens I have other cameras giving basic coverage on the area.
