Hi Carlloeb27,

Have you tried reinstalling the Arlo app and rebooting your iPhone 6S to see if that helps? And are you the main account holder or is your wife the main account holder?

[Carlloeb27]

Yes I have reinstalled the app countless times and yes I’m the main account holder and I updated my phone too.cheers for the reply

[JessicaP]

Could you try checking when you log on to your account with your wife's phone (iPhone 7 Plus) and have her log on to her account with your phone (iPhone 6S) to see how the notifications are working?

Hi Jessica well we have manage to download the new app onto my phone but the problem is that I don’t have admin rights to switch on and off cameras and it’s not showing in mine and the wife’s settings so who is gonna grant me access,I had access before as I was the lead name.thanks for helping

To look at your account more, let me reach out to you via private message to gather some information from you.

Hi everyone after getting help from Jessica regarding new app I have now realised that I’m not getting the utilities like camera positioning and motion detection test why is this so I’m glad I’ve still got the old app

[JessicaP]

Could you provide a screenshot that shows you're not seeing this option on the new Arlo app?

[Carlloeb27]

Here we go

[JessicaP]

Thanks for providing the screenshot. Make sure that you have "allow access rights" enabled on your grant access account to be sure you can see "Device Utilities" on your account.

Hi Jessica 

yes I have access rights but it’s still not showing this on the new app

[JessicaP]

I would try checking on the web client on your computer to see if you're able to see the "Device Utilities" section. Otherwise, try to have your grant access removed and re-invite again with giving "Allow Access Rights" to see if that helps.

Hi jessica

yeah I’ve tried that but to no avail,not sure why they brought out the app because I’m probably not the only the one who will be having issues with it,just glad the old app works still so it looks like I will keep both apps as two is better than one

[JessicaP]

If you're able to see it through the Arlo Legacy app but not on the new Arlo app, I would suggest to contact the Support Team to further investigate this issue. You will find several options for contacting support in the provided link.

I have an LG Android version 7.0 that has 7.6GB of storage space available. I have now tried to download the new app ten different times, each attempt lasting upwards of fifteen minutes before I cancel the request, to keep my battery from being drained.

According to the comments on the Support page, it appears that people are able to access it, but it keeps disappearing, or some other degree of issue, but I haven't seen any comments about it simply not downloading.  

What is going on with they system?

[Carlloeb27]

Well im glad I’ve still got the old app to change any settings I need also I’ve downloaded the app loads of times and deleted it to see if that would help but it didn’t
