A phone notification can reflect a delayed update, a connection state or a specific remote function. The appliance's current display helps establish what is happening at the machine.
Understanding this situation
Keep the timing of both messages if they differ. A notification that a cycle finished does not justify forcing a door that remains locked, and an old app warning should not be assumed to describe a new load.
A useful next step
Follow the model's safe local operating instructions. Report any mismatch with the full model, programme and current status. Do not disclose private network details in a public fault description or treat an app refresh as proof that an appliance fault is resolved.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
