I just spent the last 2 days with Arlo support trying to explain that since I switched to Arlo lifestyle app I no longer receive alerts on my fitbit, I only get them on my IphoneX.  When I switch back to the Arlo legacy app I do receive alerts on both devices.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Arlo lifestyle app and that didn't help (result of first day speaking with support)   Today I uninstalled and reinstalled my fitbit app (result of 2nd day speaking with support) and that also didn't correct the issue.   Anyone else having this issue?   I can't take another phone call to Arlo support!!!!!

Hi @jaynielynette

 

Which Phone/Model/OS/Arlo App version are you using?

Shane, my security camera is Arlo pro. My phone is an iPhone X and I have been using both a Arlo apps, legacy and lifestyle. legacy works for me to get notifications on my fitbit but the new lifestyle one does not.

I am having the same problem with the new app. Can’t get alerts on my Versa Fitbit. Alerts go to my iPhone 6s but no longer to my Fitbit. I have tried everything and no luck

Thank you for the details. Just to verify, you are using the Arlo app version 2.9?

Shane, yes I am using 2.9. And as mentioned in my first post I contacted Customer Service twice. Honestly each were the most painful phone calls I’ve had to make. It took a full 20 minutes of them repeating everything I said to confirm that’s what I said to even start addressing my issue. After two phone calls the final deciding factor from Customer Service was for me to call Fitbit. I am not contacting Fitbit because that is not where the issue is from. I was getting notifications on my Fitbit under the old app and now I am not getting them under the new app. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize where the problem is.

Sorry. It is Com.Arlo.app

I'm not seeing this in my fitbit apps. Nothing is working to receive alerts on my fitbit since switching to new Arlo lifestyles. I still receive alerts under old Arlo legacy but that will end after tomorrow 9/30. Not happy with Arlo right now! Fix the app!!!!
