Ring App - Modes Disappeared
The latest Ring App version has removed the Modes option. We use that feature all the time, will it be coming back or if not, why was it removed ?

Hi @andyb-uk. The Modes feature has not been removed. Make sure you're on the correct location in the Ring app, which you can check by tapping the location name in the top center of the Ring app. That should bring up a drop-down menu of any locations you have, including Shared locations, so you can ensure you're on the correct one that has your Ring devices.Update: As of September 7th, We are making a small update to the Ring App. The Modes feature will no longer be available for Ring Basic subscribers. Neighbors will still be able to adjust individual camera motion schedules, Smart Alerts, and privacy settings, through their device settings in the Ring app. In order to have access to Modes, you will need to be a Ring Plus subscriber. Users who will be impacted by this change were emailed on August 7, 2024.

UThis is concerning to me since I had already paid for a year’s worth of Ring Protect Basic and used this feature almost daily for over 2 years. Ring has removed a feature I had already paid for, and is now expecting me to pay more money. This is not how you should treat loyal customers.

UThis is NOT a “small update”!!! This is one of the main reasons I use Ring cameras, because I can change the modes on all of my cameras at once. And I sure get plenty of emails from Ring trying to sell me more devices, but I do NOT have an email from Ring telling me this feature was going away.

UIf I am going to have to upgrade to be able to put my cameras in different modes, I’ll be switching camera brands.

USo, users were notified on August 7th that a feature we already paid for was going to require a more expensive plan to access? Will we be refunded for the pre-paid months that we won’t be receiving access, or did you expect that we will just “donate” that money?

UI was billed for a yearly plan in May 2024 and received no communication in August as stated. I EXPECT TO HAVE THE SAME SERVICE I PAID FOR UNTIL MY NEXT BILLING CYCLE, if not better! Now you are telling me that in order to get this basic feature that I have had for the last 5+ years, I now have to pay double of what paid in 2024 and now pay $100! Absolutely ridiculous! BTW, the Ring plan used to be $30 a year just 2-3 short years ago. You guys are greedy and I hope you lose subscriptions. I will be cancelling my subscription when it up in 2025 and going to another camera system.

I have the same issue that started in the last few weeks. The Modes icons have disappeared from the top of the Dashboard. I have found that if I tap the gear icon for a camera and then go back to the Dashboard, the Modes icons re-appear.

CHi @mrb. If possible, can you share a short screen recording of this happening? I'd like to be able to show that example to my team so they can take a look.

UI am having the same issue and it is super annoying. I have to go to “live view” and then go back, for them to reappear??? Hoping there is a resolution!!

UNo modes anywhere to be found on the app. It used to be the first thing I saw when I opened the app, which I liked.

I’m having the same issue. Very frustrating as I cannot put my cameras in disarm mode when doing yard work. I can click on the gear and made the modes dashboard reappear on the Home Screen and my app acts like it’s disabling the cameras but it’s not. Been going on for about 2+ weeks now.

Hi neighbors. What type of phone are you using and what OS version is installed on it? Additionally, what version of the Ring app do you have installed? Thanks, neighbors!

I'm using the iOS version of the app and while I don't use modes myself I still see the Enable Modes section in the Settings section in the main app menu.
