The Wavelet app wasn't working for me no matter what, and I found a developer setting which fixes most of it. I'm guessing that this may help other people too, so it may be helpful to include in the official documentation.

As far as I am aware, the issue started when I updated my phone to Android 16, but it is possible that the issue began before that.

Actual Behavior (pre-solution)

When switching Wavelet from off to on using the button with a power icon, the following message is displayed at the bottom of the phone:

Actual Behavior (post-solution)

When switching Wavelet from off to on using the button with a power icon, the following message is displayed at the bottom of the phone:
