Automation won’t kick in anymore in iOS15

I have “Do not disturb” focus set to turn on when I go to my mosque every Friday at 1 pm. It used to work perfectly on iOS14 but it seems to be broken on the new iOS15.

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.

Do Not Disturb (Focus) not working properly on iOS 15 I have an iPhone 12 with iOS 15.5 and ever since the upgrade to iOS 15, the DND feature no longer works properly. Here's my current DND configuration and the issue I'm having: Configuration for Focus > Do Not Disturb is: Weekdays: 11:00PM - 7:00AM Weekends: 12:00AM - 9:00AM Issue: The DND feature properly activates at 11:00PM on weekdays and at 12:00AM on weekends. However, for both weekdays and weekends, it doesn't automatically deactivate and I have to disable it manually. I've tried deleting the DND automations and recreating them but this doesn't fix the issue. I've also tried adjusting the times a little (for example, 11:05PM - 7:05AM) but this doesn't fix the issue either. DND worked perfectly before iOS 15 (same phone). So, because of the above issue, I've had to turn off my DND automations and I no longer use / trust the DND feature. Does anyone know if this is a known bug or if there's a fix? Thanks!

Hey there dontworrymustafa,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having some issues with an automation. We're happy to provide some assistance.

Let's make sure it is set up correctly by following the steps under the "Add a schedule or automation" section:

Use Focus on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you continue to experience issues, please remove and re-add the automation. If the issue persists after that, make sure your device is up-to-date:

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

We hope this helps.

Have a great day!
