Arlo App is not working on Iphone

 

Already have most recent update on Iphone 12 

Deleted and Reinstalled Arlo App 

 

When I go to App it only shows the House with the circle and does not have a Log In or Create Account Option.

I contacted Arlo they advised they are aware of problem. It’s from their update. Mine has now started working about 2 hrs ago.

I have the same issue - I cannot access the Arlo Secure app. All it says is “unknown error”. This is BS - my cameras are now effectively useless without being able to access the app. And your support center won’t help as I am not on a subscription plan. When will this be fixed!?

Unfortunately this did not work for me. The app just launches with the same screen and never prompts me to log on.

I too had this problem & had to log in to account on a different device. I used an iPad. Then I could change my preferences. Now works again on my iPhone.

I tried logging on from my iPad and acceding the cameras from there but it did not do anything (i assume it’s trying to interface with the app like my phone does but i don’t have the app on my iPad). I was able to change the 2 factor auth from SMS to email but the app is still just stuck in the launch screen. I will try to log on later on my computer like others have suggested but I’m. It sure that will fix anything since the issue seems to be with the app.

What exactly did you change your preferences to to allow the iPhone app to start working again? Mine has not been working for around a week.

 

The support team have so far told me to follow these steps (which haven’t worked for me):

1) Go to iPhone Settings > General > iPhone Storage 

2) Use search button in top right to find Arlo Secure

3) Press Offload App first

4) Press Delete App

5) Reinstall app

 

I think the problem is that when you re-download an app from the App Store it shows an iCloud icon instead of ‘Get’ so it’s re-downloading all the data it previously contained, rather than completely rebooting the app from scratch.. but what do I know, I’m not an app developer!

Swipe up the app to close it. Put your phone in airplane mode (and turn off wifi if you’re somewhere where you are using wifi instead of cellular data) and launch the app. Take the airplane mode off and put wifi back on and you should be able to log in.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the Arlo stupor could have given you that answer or acknowledged the issue? I posted this issue last Wed with no response from Arlo until days later (and still no response) and a community member answered my issue.
