It is frustrating when you are not able to hear your doorbell, or it does not ring on the phone.

Here are some of the reasons why your Blink Doorbell stopped ringing on your phone and how to fix it.
What are Blink Video Doorbell Notifications?
Blink Video Doorbell Notifications are alerts that are sent to the user’s phone (Android or iPhone) when someone rings their doorbell. These notifications can be customized in terms of tone, accent, and voice. The Blink app uses pre-recorded messages, which users can also adjust the settings for. In order to set up a notification, users need to download the free Blink app from either Google Play or iTunes for Android devices and iPhones/iPads running iOS 8 or higher on their device(s).
Why Is My Blink Video Doorbell Not Ringing On Phone (Andriod and iPhone)?
There are a few reasons why your Blink Video Doorbell might not be ringing on your phone. The first thing you should check is that notifications are enabled on both the device and in the app settings. If notifications have been disabled, you will need to enable them in order for the doorbell to work properly. Also, if you don’t have an Internet connection, then it is impossible for the doorbell to send notifications to your phone. Second, if you have more than one device that can access the app, make sure that the notification is enabled on all devices. Another possibility is that the apps might not be installed properly. Make sure that you have the latest version of both the Blink App and iOS/Android operating system.
