Arlo App: Geofencing Enabled Notification

tmmwt2 — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 18:08:00 GMT

On othe Arlo app, for Android, when I have geofencing enabled I have a notification that states "Geofencing is enabled". I have push notifications turned off and I want to disable this notification as well; however, I still want to use geofencing. Any help is apprecaited.

That must be something new, I have never seen that, but I haven't used geofencing in a long time. Anyway, go into android settings, notifications, arlo. You should be able to turn off all arlo notifications there (if that's what you want).

Also usually in android you can partially slide the notification to the right which will give you a settings gear icon which takes you directly to the arlo android notifications options.

Thank you for the idea. I tried that for a little while before I posted the original message, but when doing that it turns off all Arlo notifications, including the notifications that occur when the camera is triggered. I would like to be able to keep those notifications active, as those are immensely helpful.

Ok, sounds like a new "feature". Only thing I can suggest is post an idea to get it removed or at least an option to disable/enable it.

Since the newest Android app update the "geofencing is enabled" notification doesn't go away. Is there a way to make it a pop up instead of permanent? While keeping the other arlo notifications?

And today it's gone and everything works fine. Go figure

Did you do anything to make it go away? Mine is still showing.

I also have the geofencing notification always showing with the latest update. Arlo's Android developers need to utilize Android's Notification Channels to seperate this persistant notification from the normal camera notifications. This would allow a user to turn off the geofencing notification without affecting all the other notifications.

Same issue for me.

Motorola Z2 Play running 8.0.0

My wife has an identical phone with the same issue.

Haven't been able to find a way to hide it yet.

Also extremely annoying because you can't remove camera notifications since this one is permanent. I need to clear all to get rid of camera notifications which is useless

Having the same issue. Using Pixel 3 with latest Android OS.

I don't want to disable all notifications for the App, but I don't want a constant notification for GeoFencing 😞

Same issue here. Very annoying since I keep my notifications clean.

You cannot swipe the notification. The only way to remove it is to turn off all Arlo notifications. This not a viable option if you still wish to be notified when entering/leaving the geofencing location or when motion is detected by one of your cameras.

Issue started after latest Pixel 2 XL Android update which I received today.

I have this same problem on a Samsung S9+. The notification can't be swiped away. Any help to resolve this would be appreciated

Same issue, not sure if this is a bug or the only way to keep the geofencing updating properly. Wish they would give the option to disable it so I don't have to disable all notifications.

Re: Arlo App: Geofencing Enabled Notification

tmmwt2 — Thu, 10 Jan 2019 22:37:39 GMT

Exactly. I turned off geofencing due to this. I use the notifications, I don't want to turn those off, but I loathe having a notification icon when there is not a new notification.

Hi @Dave32dmb and @Sanford87,

Are you seeing the same screenshot that tmmwt2 posted up?

And could you all let me know what phone device you are using and what Android version you are running on? Make sure you are on the latest Android Arlo app, which is 2.7.0.

Re: Arlo App: Geofencing Enabled Notification

Dave32dmb — Fri, 11 Jan 2019 00:05:33 GMT

Yes I saw the screenshot and I have the same message. It will not go away when you have the Arlo Geofencing on. I have Arlo app version 2.7.0_023403. Android version 8.0 software
