Camera app notifications not arriving on your phone
Notifications stop working when the app loses permission to send alerts or activity detection is turned off. First, check that notifications are turned on in your phone's Settings and in the camera app. Then make sure motion detection is enabled in the camera settings.
Your phone and the camera app both need to allow notifications before you'll get alerts. Your phone's Settings control whether the app is allowed to send alerts, and the camera app controls whether motion detection is even turned on. Notifications stop after a phone update, when you switch phones, or when the camera app gets updated. Checking both places brings the alerts back right away.
- ✓Have your phone's Settings app accessible
- ✓Have the camera app open and ready to check settings
