I have notifications set to on so if the camera has an alert, my phone sounds a notification. Today it is not working. No notifications but there are alerts downloaded and waiting to be viewed when accessing the app.
I have spare phone which is also not receiving notifications which points to an app fault not the phone.
This happened a few weeks ago. Randomly the notifications stopped. I tried everything including deleting and readding the app but nothing worked, then suddenly notifications started again.
Anyone else having issues?

I have had this issue several times and sent a request for assistance to remedy the problem since Iām a paying customer and have over 4 cameras set up and rely on the accuracy of the reporting/notifications to monitor my house and property. Have had several times that one or more of the cameras fails to even recognize any movement or send an alert of any kind to me. I emailed the company and left my intended ānext course of actionā that I would be dropping every and all ties I have with them unless I recieved some kind of fix. Well Iāve waited longer than I had intended. Iām not going to delete reinstall update this that or anything, if the company canāt get things up to par then no sense in wasting time money on a system that might catch someone destroying or stealing what Iāve worked my ass off for. So being the honest person I am Iām dropping this no rate company and finding a reputable company that values the individuals who pay for service and canāt even get a response. This is purely a selfish unreliable entity that could care less. Iām trashing each of the 5 cameras and literally trashing rendering all unable to work. Iāve inquired over and over but the company wonāt return and cooesp

Exactly the same thing again today.
It is not my phone, it is exactly the same on another phone.
It is not the app because my windows pc app is not picking up any alerts either yet they are recorded on the sd card.
Therefore none of the fixes above will work anyway. Iām glad I donāt pay for a cloud subscription - money wasted.

I have had the same problem for the past week. However today Iām pretty sure that also the servers are down. IThe app will not allow me to login on any device for a few hours now. I have tried all the tips listed above and none of them work on ios or android. But yes, the notification failiures have been going on since I switched to android a week ago. Itās not us, the fault is with Yi themselves. I have tried all the tips listed by Sarah above numerous times. Itās getting quite tiring. The problem is clearly not with our cameras, phones, or routers, but with the app and the service itself. Please attempt to fix this ASAP.

This is happening again for me today. Anybody else?
Alerts are working ok for me today.
Would be a good idea if they had āsystem statusā - that way we would know if it was something at the server end.
To only reply back to a message that it was a āknown issueā last time wasnāt very helpful.

Thanks Simmy. Amen to that. It would be great to have a system check. I found this site the other day. It seemed accurate in reporting the fault when the servers were down on the last mess 4 days agoā¦ There were like 99+ people reporting the status on there when I last checked but yes would be a good thing to notify us on this site when they know for sure there is a current issueā¦
I looked for this on various websites including youtube and solved it using to get the phone out of the silent mode.
I am having same problem with two cameras.
Iāve done all the above and more it works on other motion but thats no good as I get alerts when flowers blow in the wind.
However with animal and person on I can walk around all day without an alert
