Creating an automation

has the location service been affected by the new update? I can no longer have location as always in weather app or many apps running in the background, why?

It depends on the automation (from HERE):

The following automations can be run automatically:
Airplane Mode
Alarm
CarPlay
Do Not Disturb
Low Power Mode
NFC
Open App
Watch Workout
Note: You also may need to set individual actions to run automatically.

The following automations cannot be run automatically:
Arrive
Before I Leave
Bluetooth
Leave
Time of Day
Wi-Fi

Here's a screenshot (from iOS 13.3) of an "Open App" automation showing the "Ask Before Running" setting turned off:

Yes it’s for the shortcut, but I keep getting an error when the automation is ran and it won’t read off the weather anymore. So I did have “the high is ... and the chance of rain is...” now it skips over weather and all of the location gps toggles are on but for weather it only allows for on while using app, never, allow once options, what happened to the always so that it can run in the background?
