If the Owlet app is restricted to your country, you cannot use the app. Moreover, the notification may not also appear. In that case, you can use a VPN. Using a good VPN, you can bypass the geo-restrictions.
Updating your iPhone device, iOS version, and a new version of the Owlet App
As the Owlet app is not compatible with old iPhone devices, and iOS versions. You should run the Owlet app on a new iPhone with a new iOS version. As the device and OS is new, you also need to use the newest version of the Owlet app. Hope the Owlet notification will work perfectly on your iPhone.
Enabling notification from the setting
You should check whether the notification is turned on from the setting. If the notification is turned off, owlet notifications are not working on iPhone. To turn the notification on, go to the setting, and find the Owlet app, then turn on the notification.
Turning off the Do Not Disturb (DND) on your iPhone
As the Do Not Disturb (DND) mode does not allow the notifications to pop up on the iPhone, you will not get Owlet notifications on your iPhone if the DND is enabled. So, you should check whether the DND is enabled or not.
Checking your Smart Sock and Base Station to see whether they have a low battery
Low or empty batteries don’t allow the Smart Sock and Base Station to communicate with Owlet app. Thus, the app doesn’t get the data. Therefore, notifications do not pop up on your iPhone. You should check the battery of both the Smart sock and the base station. If you find they don’t have enough charge, you should recharge them.
Checking the Sock is not displaced
In our research, we saw in some cases; the babies displaced the socks from their legs accidentally. Thus the app can not get the data. Hence, the app doesn’t show the notification. You should check that the socks are perfectly placed on your baby’s leg.
