Does your ring camera show strange registrations? Here is what's going on

Does your ring camera show strange registrations? Here is what's going on

If a Tikok trend has frightened you about the safety of your ring camera, there is good news – everything is okay and nobody looks at your videos.

In the last 24 hours, videos of a strange problem have flooded with ring cameras Tiktok. The videos make some rather worrying claims and urgent warnings. If you check your device history, people say that you can see a number of registrations on May 28, 2025 from devices that are not of them. This means that in the past two months the videos warn that strangers have accessed their videos.

These warnings quickly became viral and collected thousands of comments from panicked users who also saw strange logins and hundreds of thousands of stocks. The warnings made themselves on other platforms such as Reddit.

What made the ring on May 28th?

Ring says that these claims are not true. Neither her account nor your ring itself was hacked, and no non -authorized person saw her video clips. The actual explanation is much less bad.

When I turned to Ring's media team, a representative confirmed that there was no safety incident or no violation and ring or ringing devices were not hacked. Instead, Ring showed a back-end update that caused previous registration data to be displayed as May 28, 2025 (even if this was not the case) and devices were incorrectly displayed as “device name”.

This update had an impact on every device with which they ever establish a connection to the ring, which means that their old phones, laptops, tablets and other devices were displayed as new registrations.

Ring also dealt with the claims in a Facebook post on Friday morning, but some users were not fully satisfied. In some cases, these users say, they have seen registrations from other countries or devices that they never had – such as “Windows 11”, if they have never registered by a computer, “Chromebook” if they have never had a or “Chrome browser” if the user has Apple Apple devices. A Reddit user had a string of 11 registrations via various iPad and iPhone models as well as Safari and Mac OS X browser.

Ring did not specifically address these claims, but answered the same generic answer. I turned after an explanation.
