My geofencing was working just fine until I upgraded to my Smartphone 12.

Anyone tell me what I can do to get Arlo to recognize my new phone? It's very annoying as we are constantly getting ourselves on camera!

Thanks so much. Nancy100

I have 4 cameras with the Ultra 2 which were working perfectly with my old cellphone. I have the App downloaded on my new iPhone 12 and there seems to be some issues. I was finally successful over the weekend in figuring out how to switch my notifications to my new iPhone (yay!) however, even though I received ALL notifications of my husband milling about the house while I was away from the home, Arlo did not record or show ALL of the notifications in my Library. It recorded and showed me only the 2 videos from the front door. So it remains a mystery as to why it is not full functioning.

Also, for some reason, the Patio Door camera is under a "3 month trial" which should NOT be. I had to reload it once to the smart base because it had lost function, but I am a subscriber of the service since January 2021 for ALL four cameras. Please look into this.

Thank you. Frustrated that we simply cannot contact you via a live chat or person.
