Change Blink notification sounds on iPhone To Donate to the Channel: cash.app/$Love... Blink outdoor wireless security camera system: amzn.to/46r6D4n My email: thehometeam1974@gmail.com
I had the same thing happen last week. Now I can barely hear the notification sound, just like a little tiny sound. Makes the whole system somewhat less valuable! Love those automatic updates!!
Yes, the same thing happened with me. The IOS 17.1.1 update changed notifications to what I call a “dew droplet.” It’s hardly audible and renders your security system almost worthless. Very frustrating.
I wish my Samsung had the option to move thru diff alert sounds for my front dooe Blink camera, as my dogs are familiar with the alert and bark (most of the time I don't even answer the front door bcause I'm working) and is disruptive😢.
Joe update your iPhone to 17.2 as apple have now added anew section in sounds so you can now get access to all the sounds that apple Have under Sounds and harpics Default alerts At the bottom of list Good luck
It’s funny I had a pretty loud (ok loud is exaggerating) notification, but it was doable, until last week when I update my IOS to 17.1.1 now I have a droplet noise, I can hardly hear it! I’m going to email them again, because I’ve had nothing but problems with my floodlights not going on automatically. They did fix the front one for my but the back ones aren’t working yet. I agree they have great customer service!! Hopefully if they get enough calls about this they’ll change it.
Yes, my phone updated overnight to 17.1.1 and now I have the same noise. It’s barely audible. But it’s not just the Blink notifications, it’s others as well. So Blink AND Apple will be getting inundated with calls.
I completely agree this should be a basic function so unfortunately I have to now shop for a new system, it’s shame they can’t get their app sorted out I can’t see how this is anything to do with Apple unless apple have built there app for them (don’t think so).
Also I just installed IOS 17.1.1, and they’ve changed to notification sound to some little droplet sound that is barely audible… so now the Blink notifications (as well as many other notifications) are even worse. I’m quite sure Apple is getting a lot of blowback for this.
That’s true you can do it on android but you can’t do it on Apple. I called them they said oh it’s an iPhone issue but of course it’s not. It’s their app.
IOS 17.2.1 allowed us to have some control over it, as it was operating under the “default” notification sound. Somehow in recent days, Blink is no longer operating under the default sound setting. It seems now to be operating on its own, with no ability to change it again. VERY frustrating.
Better yet, return it. I have just done that. Was going to use it as a 360° security system around my van! The alert volume and the inability to change the tone and volume makes it completely unsuitable as a security camera. What was blink thinking?
I’ve had mine for years I always miss the notifications cause the sound is so low smh. Still as an affordable system it works but I wish they would change that.
You are wrong you can change the Notification sound got to amps click on that Amp. And you will see where it gives you the option to change the notification sound. Make sure you. Click on the right thing Because it took me two days to figure it out

I'm having the same problem with my blink camera i have went to notifications it didn't work for me all it does is vibrate
Call them, their number is at the end of the video.
I updated to iOS 17 yesterday and now I can barely hear the Blink alert. Shopping for a new security camera system.
Hopefully Apple will get enough blowback to fix that bug sooner than later.
Same here, this is some bull. How can you have an alert system that you can’t even hear.
Thanks! Will do.
Joe update your iPhone to 17.2 as apple have now added anew section in sounds so you can now get access to all the sounds that apple
Have under
Sounds and harpics
Default alerts
At the bottom of list
Good luck
I just did this. FINALLY, a solution. THANK YOU!!!
Will this affect Blink alert tone?? Thanks🙏
@@papajoeknows8355 can you make an updated video on how you fixed it?
Thanks a million for this video! Calling Now

This is the second comment regarding IOS 17… ugh.
Yep, my Blink sound notification changed also after update. Very frustrating!

Good, I’m glad you called them. 👍🏻
Glad to help
I updated the iOS yesterday and I’m still unable to change the notification sound.
Were you able to change yours?
IOS 17.2.1 allowed us to have some control over it, as it was operating under the “default” notification sound. Somehow in recent days, Blink is no longer operating under the default sound setting. It seems now to be operating on its own, with no ability to change it again. VERY frustrating.
@@papajoeknows8355 I changed the Default sound, but it didn’t change the Blink sound. No luck so far. ☹️

Agreed, this is something they need to rectify or they’re going to come back like boomerangs.
I’ve had mine for years I always miss the notifications cause the sound is so low smh. Still as an affordable system it works but I wish they would change that.
It is set to REBOUND (default ) now you can change to louder sounds
Yup same problem here, sound is so quiet can’t even hear it
How do I turn it off!
Just switch off motion detection in the app for any particular camera, and it won’t get triggered so won’t come on.

I can’t find where you’re talking about. Can you be more specific?
My iPhone updated and changed the ringtone. How can i change the ringtone back to the one i had
You can’t after recent IOS update. I would join what I’m guessing is a GIANT club and call Apple to complain… 800-275-2273
@@papajoeknows8355 thank you so much! 🙂
Update to 17.2
You now can change it
@@lesbremner8670I updated my IOS yesterday, but I still can’t change the sound.
How do you add on the apple watch?
Not sure about that, I don’t have one.
My notification sound changed by it self…. Is that normal?
It was a recent Apple iOS update that caused it.
I cant change it on my Android samsung s21
Update. I have now done it .
I think u vid is fir info. Only.l
Was that intended to be a sentence?
Apple sucks for not being able to change it! A droplet is not a sound especially for the hard of hearing!!
Yes, I’m furious about this last IOS update that’s changed notifications to what I call a “dew droplet.” Ridiculous.
If you don’t mind please share the ticket number, this may help expedite the resolution
If you want to switch the notification sounds for the blink cameras...you have to switch to android. That's the only way this is possible.
In other words, you didn’t watch the video lol.
