Automation of airplane mode doesn't work anymore with iOS 14.5

Not really a question, but any help would be great.


Since the upgrade of my iPhone 8 to iOS 14.5, the automations which trigger the airplane mode on/off don't work anymore. When the automation is started, it finally ends with a notification saying the automation took too long time.


Thanks.

iPhone 8, iOS 14

Hello romu70! Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.


We understand that after updating to iOS 14.5, a personal automation isn't working anymore because it's taking too long to run. We'd like to look into this with you to see how we can help.


First, let's see if updating to iOS 14.5.1 has any effect on this issue. The following resource can help with that after creating a backup for your iPhone to prevent data loss: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If the issue persists, let's try removing the automation and creating it again: Create a new personal automation


Make it a great day!

Hi Karen.

Thanks for your answer.


I already tried to re-create my automations, this didn't fix the problem. Now, my iPhone is upgrading to iOS 14.5.1, I'll keep you informed tomorrow.


My automotions are this :

  • First the iPhone "Do not disturb mode" is effective from 10:45 PM to 7:00 AM
  • One automation is about triggering the airplane mode on when "do not disturb" gets active, so at 10:45 PM
  • One automation to do the opposite, remove the airplane mode when "do not disturb" gets disabled, so at 7:00 AM.


Have a nice day.
