How to Mute Arlo Notifications
Last updated: 08.01.2025
The Mute Notifications feature in the Arlo Secure App allows you to temporarily mute Arlo notifications for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, or 24 hours. This means you can quickly turn off unwanted notifications without adjusting mode settings in the Arlo Secure App or settings in your mobile device.
If your Arlo Secure App is currently muted, a notification banner shows at the top of the Arlo Secure App.
Important Notes:
- Mute Notifications affects all devices on the specific account and Location where it is enabled.
- Muting notifications in the Arlo Secure App on a mobile device automatically mutes notifications on any other devices that you are signed in to, such as a tablet.
- Friends on your Arlo account (not signed into your account) are not affected because they are signed into their own account.
