Pointless Push Notification When I Change Arming Mode Myself

[jm28]

I set a custom schedule for 10pm to 6am arm devices. I would expect to only receive notifications of movements on those devices during those times. Instead, at 10pm I receive YOUR CAMERAS ARE ON and then at 6am YOUR CAMERAS ARE OFF. Then at 10pm YOUR CAMERAS ARE ON. Then at 6am YOUR CAMERAS ARE OFF. (You know, just like you wanted). Please disable this unnecessary alert that keeps us from focusing on actual important alerts.

We do  have this in as a feature request. And the team is currently looking into it. Once there is an update I will let the community know.

This is not just a minor inconvenience; it's a critical disruption of the user experience. Receiving forced push notifications for every scheduled mode change is essentially system-generated spam. These unwanted alerts clutter our feeds and, more importantly, lead to notification fatigue—causing users to potentially ignore real security threats.

This must be treated as a high-priority fix, not a long-term feature request. We need the option to disable these spam-like mode change alerts immediately.

I absolutely agree. If the annoying Mode Change Notification will not be changed, I will consider to quit Arlo and change to another camera system.

This is still currently being looked into. I will update the community when there is any updates.

How can I prevent notifications when the mode changes, with the new app experience?

I don’t want phone notifications when a schedule changes mode. It used to be silent.

Arlo knows better.

There's another thread that has been on for a while requesting this feature to be switched off.

And yet, they don't listen.

@Richiejb our development team is currently looking into this.  I will update you as soon as possible.

Just got the new app. I didn't realize how lucky I was to have the old one until now. These mode change notifications are driving the famliy mad!

[BradSP65]

Only answer is to mute arlo or uninstall it. My replacement cameras have arrived. Now have to test those and set up then remove arlo subscription.

@m1m3r we are working on a fix for the change mode notifications. I will update the community soon.

@BrookeN Thanks, I'm super happy with Arlo otherwise.
