When opening the app and I go to the mode tab the devices take a very long time to update. I have multiple base stations across several properties and a couple of them show their status right away and others sit on "getting information" for as long as 5 minutes (I've timed it, not exaggerating). What's going on? Seems with every ios app update things get worse not better. So frustrating. I've had these cameras now for almost 4 years and the system is yet to function as designed. Geez.
Solved! Go to Solution.

The update details refer to improvement of login time but while some features are quicker to access the mode status takes much longer to show up.

I sometimes see that the status display does not change until I scroll the screen but only rarely.
Previously it would take 15sec to give me access to the cameras for live viewing and now it only takes 5sec.
Why getting the base status now takes 10sec longer again I cannot understand.

My arlo video doorbell doesn’t allow live view since the update. Everything else works fine, and it records motion and everything, but the live view just keeps saying “connecting” and never connects. All my other cameras still work with live view, it is isolated to the video doorbell as far as I can tell.

Ditto, Since the last app update.
Mode - Takes forever to load or when changing the mode it doesn't stick
The app takes ~30 Seconds to load arlo system status now, before it was a few seconds.

Apparently they've updated the software on "my.arlo.com" which did not improve things. I've been accessing it through Chrome on a desktop PC for 3 years now. It seems they recently updated things so some buttons are moved, added, changed.
When I click on MODE, then click the right arrow to pull down the menu under ARMED, it shows my 3 cameras and says "If motion on Camera 1" and I click EDIT. The next screen shows if "Motion is Detected" but everything is disabled on that screen. I cannot uncheck either Motion is Detected nor Audio is Detected. I cannot get the Right Arrows to pull down any sub menus. "How would you like to be notified" is completely blank. And the two bottom buttons are blank and don't work (I think they were Save and Cancel maybe). So basically I cannot modify any of the actions anymore. Do you not have a team that checks the software before you release updates to the public?!

Hello I am having the same problem. I can activate and see my devices from my desktop but on the phone app they will not load. It just says "Getting status"
Apple iPhone 8
iOS 13.6
Arlo app version 2.19
Occurs on both cellular and WiFi
I have also deleted the app, reinstalled, rebooted the Apple device, rebooted the base station, reset the home WiFi - nothing works.

@ChowHound Have you tried on another browser? I use edge and all works as before. If you are using a custom mode try armed to see if it will work.

Yes, I have tried with the latest versions of both Chrome and Firefox. Both have identical results. I'm not going to switch to a new browser because Arlo screwed up things with another update. I shouldn't have to switch either as I've been using both of these browsers for years with Arlo and no issues.

VMB3000 base, 3 x VMC3030 Cameras, Arlo Smart
iPhone 5 SE, IOS 13.6.1
Like the original poster, since the recent update I am seeing an increased delay of approx 20 seconds before "Getting information" is populated with actual system status
On another Android phone on the same wireless network the delay is only 5 seconds and perfectly acceptable
Have tried the uninstall / re-install to no avail
Any insight appreciated

Arlo app update from 2.19.1 (992) to 2.19.2 (993) has made no difference for me.
Time to clear the "Getting information" message approx 25 seconds vs 5 seconds on Android (same wlan)

Not happy, over two weeks and not a hint of any progress, truly shocking.
