Camera stuck in getting status on iOS

after a recent update, my user accounts are stuck in 'Getting Status' on the camera.  This has only happened with my user accounts, not the admin account.  I went in and gave one of the user accounts admin access and then the camera started working again.  I do not want to give access rights to all users so this is a problem.  Please advise how to handle this.  I have restarted the devices, deleted and re-added the app and logged in and out.  No resolution.  They are all iOS devices that are fully updated.

See post from Jessica (Arlo).  Arlo is working on this.  No ETA at this time.  Jessica, any updates on when the issue will be fixed?

I have a system and my parents have a system. We have shared accessibility with each other so that when one of us is out of town, the other can check in on things if necessary. Two days ago, we both started getting the “checking status” notification for each other’s cameras but we don’t have any issues with checking our own cameras/system. What can we do?

This has been quite an inconvenience for days, I've got elderly parents that I need to check in on now and then.  Hopefully this is resolved real soon!
