Is there a setting to allow Ring 2nd generation to open automatically on iphone when there is activity outside or the bell is rung ?
Hi @Steve101. There is not an option to have it automatically bring up the Ring App whenever you receive a notification. There is an option where if you have the Ring App open and your Doorbell detects motion or someone rings it, it will bring up the Live View. Navigate to the Doorbell’s device profile page in the Ring App > Alert Settings > Notification Preferences > toggle Push Notifications off. This means that when you are already in the Ring App, instead of receiving a push notification for a ding or motion, it will instead automatically pull up the Live View. Please note that this only applies when you already have the Ring App open on your phone. I hope that helps! 
Thank you !
