Duplicate notifications iOS

Retired_Member — Thu, 29 Apr 2021 21:26:51 GMT

Still receiving duplicate notifications. I started a prior thread and was closed about a week ago. Congrats Arlo, new low closing a thread saying it was fixed when it isn’t. So proud of myself for continuing to give you all $10 a month.

Since it at least doesn't alert anymore on second one, I just ignore if I notice it it since it is within 5 seconds and the time stamp is the same.

Is this issue occurring from all your Arlo devices?

For me yes. My iPhone, my wife's iPhone and both our Apple Watches.

My iPhone and watch are fully updated but I don't believe my wife has updated her devices yet.

And I just reread your comment. I have 2 cameras and it happens on both.

Hi @Retired_Member

This issue has been identified & should be addressed in the next update coming soon. I will provide another update as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience

iOS Receiving Double Push Notifications

fstrsbro — Thu, 03 Jun 2021 18:51:07 GMT

For all of my cameras, I get 2 notifications, and have been for many months. I get one notification when motion is first detected and another when the recording is completed (e.g. 2 minuted later). if I do not look at the notifications, the second notification actually replaces/updates the initial notification. For example - I walk outside at 10:00 and immediately get a notification of motion. If I look at the app, the notification goes away and I get another notification at 10:02. However, I do not look at the app, I get another notification at 10:02 that says "now", and the initial 10:00 notification is no longer in my notification list.

All devices show they have the most updated firmware.

iOS App Version (3.2 (2202)

I have (many times because of various issues):

1) Removed all cameras and re-added them

2) Completed a hard restart on base station

3) Spent way too much time chatting with customer support, with no resolution.

The last update I got on this was that it would be fixed in the new App version, but that is not the case. I have seen several others threads with this complaint that say it has been "fixed", but many responses say that it has not - with no other updates from support. Example: Solved: Arlo app giving double notifications - Arlo Community - Shows as "Solved", but all of the comments clearly indicate that it is not.

The Arlo development team is currently investigating this issue. We will provide an update as soon as we have more information to share with the community.

This was also happening to me and I turned the "Animated Preview" feature off. That seemed to help with this issue. Settings -> Smart Notifications -> *eachdevice* -> Alert Options. There's a toggle there. Strangely enough, it still happens on occasion, but not every time like before.

Hello,

Can you please test again with the latest version of the Arlo mobile app v3.2.1 If you do not see the update, remove and re-install the Arlo mobile app for the update.

Thank you

@ShayneS 3.2.1 is still the same on IOS 14.6. I removed the app before updating. I noticed the second without an alert is when the recording shows up in the library.

Hey @dcfox1

If you clear the notification as soon as it pops on your device, you will receive another notification when the recording is delivered to your library as well.

Re: Duplicate notifications iOS

dcfox1 — Tue, 22 Jun 2021 21:02:59 GMT

Ok, never cleared it out but not a big deal for me. I was looking at the Library on portal to experiment so never touched the app.

Hi @dcfox1

Gotcha, so to clarify to see if I'm understanding correctly, you received a PN after motion was detected with the new app 3.2.1 > Did not clear it > Then received another PN as a stacked/Duplicate PN in the notification center? Can you provide a screenshot if the is the case next time?

Thank you!

Yes correct. It is quick as I get get the recording quick15-30 seconds most of the time. I don't pay much attention to the second one but will try to catch a screenshot. I think the same thing others have been posting about a duplicate push notification that started several month ago with the start of video notification update.

I have updated the application, but am experiencing the same thing. Still getting double notifications.

@fstrsbro

Thank you for the update. Can you remove and reinstall the Arlo app. There was another release with Version 3.2.2

Can you provide a screenshot of the stacked/doubled push notifications.

Thank you

fstrsbro — Mon, 28 Jun 2021 21:42:42 GMT

Just to be clear - this is not "stacked" notifications. I get a notification when motion is first detected. If I do not touch my phone, that notification is replaced with a "new" notification when the recording is completed. If I look at that first notification and clear it from my list, I then get the second notfication when the recording is complete.

I have deleted and re-installed the application. Attached are images of the two notifications - both showing "now", but as you can see, 2 minutes apart (the time that camera records for). I would expect one notification when motion is detected, and nothing new when the recording is completed. All told, I was in the camera's view for ~5 seconds.

HI @fstrsbro.

Thank you for all the detailed information. I spoke with the development team regarding this and was informed this notification flow is working as designed.
