May I ask which troubleshooting steps you have performed so far? I don't want to suggest anything you have previously performed.

I have the exact same issue on my Arlo Cameras. The problem started for me yesterday and occurs on both my phones (Android and iPhone).
If I press and hold an iPhone notification, I get a blank white box. If it is a smart notification and it has detected a vehicle or person etc, it shows a green outline where that object was but the entire notification is still white (see image below). The notifications on my Android simply don't expand anymore.
I have tried working with support on this but they just kept telling me to uninstall and reinstall the app. Explained that this stopped working on both phones at the same time. Didn't get anywhere on this. So frustrated.
The version on the iPhone is 4.0.4. On Android it is 4.0.4_28512. Tried re-installing, rebooting, etc and still have the same issue.
This must either be a server-side issue or both those latest versions of the app have the problem.

Yes I am having the same issues. Just updated the app and animated preview now only shows a black screen. Very disappointing.

Hi
A couple of days ago the animated preview on the notification has disappeared.
I still get the notification on my S20 phone but the image is missing.
I have checked all the settings relating to this and they are all ticked as per below
- Animated preview (each camera)
- Mute notifications (Off)
- Allow notifications
- Pop ups allowed
- Badge allowed
- Lock screen allowed
Has anyone else had this occur recently and or have a fix?
I have restarted my cameras, rebooted my phone, re-installed the app.
Nothing has worked so far.

I'm also having this issue. It was working in the morning (+8 GMT) and at some point after midday, it's stopped. No local changes to our system was made including settings.

Hi Drewster,
I have the same issue on all of my devices that support notifications/animated previews, it started yesterday morning for me. I am on IOS and the image/animation are missing.
I am using the Ultra's.
I logged a ticket with Arlo tech support and am waiting on their update once they further investigate. My Arlo case #43328423.
Regards,
Kevin

I also have the same issue since last week. All push notifications are received without thumbnail or animated preview. But I haven't update Arlo Secure app yet so it is still 4.0.3_28510 on my Android phone. I have Video Doorbell AVD2001 and Essential Spotlight VMC2030 both having the same issue.
I tried rebooting the Doorbell and reinstall the Arlo Secure app but still receiving text only notifications, even if I kept the notifications for half an hour to see if it was waiting for uploads.

Yes same for me. Maybe if they listened to their users they would realise it must be an app issue and to make some changes rather than truing to trouble shoot.

I get the same issue on my 2 S22s and 2 iPads. I have 7 cameras and as of a few days all of my previews stopped working, every setting is active and I even reset one phone and one tablet along with reset 2 cameras but nothing. I can't roll back the last update so yeah we have been royally stuffed on this one. Another instance of Netgear updating something that worked fine, they did it with solar charging by disabling always charge and no doubt they will break another part on the next update. They cannot leave things alone so I won't be buying these ever again

Thank you for the feedback. I have escalated this yesterday and the team is investigating. Would any of the affected users mind Private messaging me with the affected cameras serial number?
Thank you

Hi Thanks for your help
Camera serial numbers as follows
Please bear in mind, and I will say again, this is an Arlo issue with your systems or software upgrades, myself along with many others just keep going around in circles trying to get Arlo to resolve this problem, it is not a problem form my end, nothing has changed and out systems, all phones and internet are working fine.
I am hoping that you can find a quick fix for the problem.
If not, how do I request a refund of my money due to not being able to work as per my expectations and product promise?
Thanks
Anthony John

Yep, I think everyone else is in the same boat, Arlo have wasted so much of my time trying to fix the problem form our end. This is there problem and at this point they need to put there hand up and fix it. funny how it started happening on both our phones at the same time, nothing has changed with our internet, phones or wifi, yet they keep trying to go through 1000 things on our end. Is there Issue they need to fix. Keep logging the problem or keep calling them
