Simplisafe app not working after latest iOS update, 15.6

Can't log in on my iPhone - if there's a captcha on the phone app, can't see it.

Current login and password work just fine from my two laptops.

NEVER MIND, I FIXED IT MYSELF!

So SimpliSafe added a reCaptcha to their smartphone app.  Only it doesn't show up in Apple iOS unless you:

Settings > Safari > Scroll forever to the last item, "Advanced" > Javascript > On

App works fine now.

I've had the same problem! My JavaScript was already toggled on, but that sent me down the right path.

What fixed it for me was: Settings > Safari > scroll to the bottom for "Settings For Websites" section > Content Blockers > toggle off "All Websites". That made the reCaptcha appear after I force quit/reloaded SimpliSafe app.

Once I'm logged in, looks like I can turn Content Blockers back on... Just gotta remember for the next time.

Hi! I am at a complete loss ... where is this setting? I have a "Settings for Websites" section, but only a "Share Across Devices" option is available.

Yes, I power cycled my phone after the iOS update.

Yes, I deleted the app and downloaded it again.

The app doesn't appear on the Settings > Notifications, so I'm not getting ANY system notifications.

@benjaminkurata​ Same here - the app installs, but never shows up with the other apps in the "Notifications" section.

ReCaptcha was recently, and temporarily, added to authenticate logins to SimpliSafe accounts. Thank you @benjaminkurata and @GermanShepherd for taking those steps and verifying that they worked to resolve the issue. I have gone ahead and marked these as an 'Accepted Solution' as this should help to resolve the issue for anyone else currently having trouble logging in to their account. 

If you run into any issues logging in to your account in the future, or have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach back out.

All of the sudden, the app is not working on my iphone.  I did rebooted, deleted the app and the Safari/Java recommendation.  However, app is still not working.

Sorry to hear that. What version of the SimpliSafe app are you on now? You can check through the SimpliSafe page in your phone's App Store. If there's a new update available, you should install it ASAP.

I've tried to try the above methods, I have had several chats with SS via phone and online chat ... without the app, my use of the cameras is definitely diminished!

Tried all of these suggestions, app was working now it is not. Just get "oops something went wrong", iPhone 8 plus iOS 16.2.  Logging in through various web browsers works just fine.  Just cannot get into it from the phone app.

So, finally, the app works. I'm not sure when, but an update must have been pushed out.

For several weeks Ive been unable to get the app to work. It's been updated regularly, etc.. I decided to log out, and when I logged back in the app worked properly.
