My wife and I both have iPhones, setup geofencing, and never reliably worked.  When I knew we were both out of zone, I would wait for the Arlo App alert saying it was armed, but it wouldn't come.  Only after I re-open the app would the notification arrive/be sent out.  We both have Arlo always allowed to use our locations in the settings (Location Services).  It just never arms.

 

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13.3

iPhone Xs, iOS 13.2.3

I have been having the same issue for a few weeks now. I was told by support that they are aware with a problem with geofencing and iOS 13 and that the next app update should correct that. Whenever that happens....🙄🙄🙄

Happened again this morning, but this time from my wife's device, meaning she wondere if Arlo was working as it wasn't armed while we were both out of zone.  As soon as she opened the app, it triggered arming.  The app is seemingly closing itself (crashing) while in the background, and not receiving location infomration as a result?

Thanks Arlo for letting us know you are working on this. I’ve never had this geo fencing problem before I upgraded to the latest iPhone and now ios13. Hopefully it will be fixed soon! Cheers

Mine is doing the e act same thing. As soon as I bring the app up the geofence automation runs, but it won’t recognize where I’m at if it’s not the current active app. I’ve checked every setting I can find, nothing fixes it.

Also, I'm sure it's related, but I do not receive "Location In/Out Notifications" at all.

Hi,
Thanks for the new iOS update: "Arlo iOS App - 2.12 - 13th December 2019". I still have the same geofencing problem: always on away mode, but I'am not sure that my iOS app has been updated. The Arlo aap: version 2.12 (1887), but with release date on "5. Dec. 2019"!! But official release date is 13th Dec??
Regards

The update seems to be working for us as well, as far as arming/disarming goes, but not wrt notifications when leaving or entering a zone.

When will notifications when leaving or entering a zone be fixed?

Just FYI, after updating the geofencing has been arming/disarming as well as sending notificatiom

Can some more people confirm geofencing is now working after Arlo’s latest update?

I switched to completely bypassing Arlo for geofencing and I’m using IFTTT to arm and disarm. It’s been working perfectly!

I might switch back to Arlo if it’s operational again, although...I really like IFTTT’s ability to arm and disarm based on Sunset and Sunrise.

Hi,

I have the latest version of the the app, 2.12, and this still does not work and has been like this from the launch of IOS 13, do you not test your software before launch ? Maybe Beta versions this would avoid this mess
