Custom Mode coming soon?

So this article is as new as 23-Sept-2025:

https://kb.arlo.com/000063512/How-to-set-up-an-Arlo-Custom-Mode

It shows screens and features that are not available yet on my Android 6.5.2 here.  Hopefully some good news there (fingers crossed for fixing geofencing too)

We've started rolling out custom modes for some groups of users. This rollout will extend to additional groups and regions in the very near future, at which point we will make an official announcement here on the community once a majority of users are able to access this feature. We're very close!

Well, @JamesC , it's good to see this feature being rolled out. I don't use custom modes, but well done, guys.

Operating 41 cameras with two subscriptions with other accounts.  Struggling to say with 3.0 due to Grid format.  I can't deal with 4.0 with this many cameras.  My invited guests all forced to 4.0 can't accept my invites and see the feeds on their cameras.   Please advise if this function will be restored to 4.0. Crossing my fingers.  Replacing 40 cameras would be expensive and take a lot of time.

Great to hear this is finally coming. When Arlo Secure launched it removed the ability to schedule different active zones at different times of the day. Quite a basic requirement for any security system.  I can't believe it is taking so long to restore this core functionality.

I gave up waiting and purchased a non-Arlo camera to recreate the zone I lost following the forced upgrade.

I suppose this android app 6.5.8 here is the latest.  But I don't see any custom mode.

If I go to routines, there is simply NO 3 dots to enable custom mode.

@james?

It is a phased rollout by region I believe. Arlo doesn't move quickly.

[JamesC]

Custom modes is not yet available for all users and all regions. We will make an announcement in the future once this release is available to a wider audience. Stay tuned.

Good to see its returning for those who stayed with Arlo over the last year without the capability. like @ittroll i'm waiting for Black Friday sales to complete my replacement program.
