Why has the "Armed" and "Disarmed" wording been removed from the Arlo app under the mode view that one first sees when pressing the mode button within the app?  All that is there now are just symbols, but nothing that definitively states "Armed" or "Disarmed", leaving one to now have to guess if their system is Armed or Disarmed upon returning home and therefore setting off their alarms when entering the house if in fact the system is still armed due to geofencing latency issues not disarming the system.  

 

Now you are left to guess Arlo, really?

 

This is ridiculous, since GeoFencing most of the time does not "instantly" disarm the security cameras upon one returning home (as it is supposed to do in a perfect world), it had been easy enough to briefly touch one button in the app before you walked in the house, (the mode button) where it would definitively show you the wording "Armed or Disarmed".

 

But no more, some brilliant person decided to remove the wording that says "Armed" or "Disarmed" in the mode view therefore now requiring even more steps to verify the status of your system before you walk in your house. 

 

Who is the person(s) at Arlo that is trying to fix something that is not broken with the app?

 

Question? - So now, how can one "quickly" verify if their system is either Armed or Disarmed upon returning home and  before walking in the house and setting off the alarms, since the Armed/Disarmed wording has now been removed in the app?

 

Thank you for any help with this,
