My Ring Doorbell Not Sending Motion Alerts Since Last App Update

Hi Neighbors / Ring Community,

I’m reaching out because I’m experiencing an issue with my Ring Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) after installing the latest Ring app update (version X.Y.Z). Here’s a summary of the problem:

  • Motion detection is on in my device settings.

  • I have set up motion zones correctly.

  • However, I haven’t received any motion alerts on my phone for the past two days.

  • My doorbell still streams live video, but motion-triggered notifications don’t work.

  • I have already rebooted the doorbell and my Wi-Fi router.

  • My Wi-Fi signal strength at the doorbell is good (–60 dBm) and stable.

What I’ve tried so far:

  1. Disabled and re-enabled motion detection.

  2. Reinstalled the Ring app.

  3. Reset the doorbell (but didn’t factory-reset).

  4. Checked for any other firmware or app updates.

Questions / Help Needed:

  • Has anyone else faced a similar issue after the recent update?

  • Is this a known bug in the current app version?

  • Are there other troubleshooting steps I should try before contacting Ring Support?

  • Should I report this as a bug?

Thanks in advance for any guidance. I really appreciate the help — this community has been great for troubleshooting in the past!

    Hi @kkshah. What type of phone do you have and what version of the Ring app is installed? Have you disabled Motion Alerts, then enabled it? Do you have a VPN active on your phone? Also, check to see if you have Modes enabled. This Help Center article here has some great information too.
