Automations iPhone 8 prompt Hi. I’ve got an iPhone 13 where automations in Shortcut app run without being prompted. I’m trying to do the same on an old iPhone 8 but there is no option to “Run Immediately”. When the automation is triggered, running the action needs to be confirmed. Two questions: 1) are older iPhones not able to run automations without confirmation ? 2) if not, which iPhones DO run them without confirmation by the user? Thanks for your feedback.

Home automation not working (with new iPhone) Hi, Since getting a new iPhone home automations are not triggered automatically. Automations run fine when manually triggering them but won’t automatically trigger (at set times). I believe the issue started occurring when I got a new iPhone (14) last week. Any thoughts? thanks

Time of day triggered automations no longer running automatically Started a few days ago. I have automations that are triggered by time of day. Ask before running is disabled. But everytime the scheduled time arrives, it doesn’t run it automatically unless my phone is unlocked. It gives me a prompt to tap Run for it to do the automation. I’ve checked the settings of my shortcut and the Allow running while locked is also enabled.
