I can't seem to get these working. I've been using BI for 5+ years and it's never been an issue. They just stopped one day and I let it go, this was months ago. Now I have a fresh setup I built from scratch and its the last thing I need to get working.

I'm on the latest update. Here is the basic push notification settings I have:

 
Did you notice if it was still working right after "the latest update" ?

Did you insure both phones still have Push settings enabled and notifications by BI enabled? It seems every @#$% my Moto Android or my wife's iPhone get an update they turn something off that I have on or vice versa.....it's pretty annoying.

You may already know this: BI's built-in "Help" file for "Push Notification" has a lot of info on requirements, known issues and caveats, especially with WAN accessibility and firewall and router configuration. :cool:

push notifications rely HEAVILY on Android and iOS servers to do their part. The joy of the smartphone cloud use. Blue Iris just sends out the notification. Can use Wireshark to verify the notification gets sent out.
is where I went down the rabbit hole of understanding how push notifications work.
