Automation

I’m using iPhone XR since last year. Today I found an error in running automation. I put an automation when connected charging. It is showing that encountered an error : the automation took too long to run. Please need to resolve it..!

Shorcuts app on iOS 15 + Hello, I am having issues running my automatizations on all versions of iOS 15. For example - my automation turns on the lights and it should wait 600 seconds and then turn the lights off. After few minutes my iPhone display a notification: "Automation failed, unknown error" and the lights are still turned on. Also when I tried to create a shorcut and add an vibration to some part of it it just crashed whole shorcuts app. And last problem - when I'm adding a "wait" option in automation programing window, on iOS 14 I could just type how many seconds it should wait. Now I must tap the "+" or "-" button like crazy wihout an option of just type it in. I really don't know what to do. Apple seems not interested in repairing this.

Automations Stopped Working I have an iPhone 11 running 14.1 and just recently, my speak-text automations for plugging in and unplugging my phone stopped working. They had been working since I updated to iOS 14, but just recently stopped. I've tried restarting my phone, disabling and re-enabling the automations, as well as just deleting them and re-making them. I also noticed that my phone has its own pinging noise that is new (I think since the 14.1 update?) when it is plugged in that sounds like a notification and is different from the standard apple ping for plug in/unplug. I still get the notification that the animation is being run, but it just doesn't. Anyone have a fix? I know it's not the biggest deal, but I was enjoying every time I unplugged my phone, hearing "get that bread" lol.

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.

Clear "Other":

Clear the storages named "Other". It basically contains unnecessary files such as caches that are used for system ease of use - all of which gather over time: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tips. Caches would be being used for remembrance of application use.
