Run Shortcuts when phone is locked

Hi,

I have set an Automation on my phone to turn WiFi on when I arrive home, however when I get home and my phone is locked it requires me to unlock and tap the notification to run.

There is no option to Turn on/off “Ask before running” in the shortcuts app like there is on other automations.

Is it possible to turn it on without unlocking my phone.

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Hey t13g,


Normally, your iPhone will reconnect to your Home Wi-Fi network when it comes within range. To set up a Shortcut automation that triggers something to happen when you arrive at a specific location, follow this guide: Create a new personal automation in Shortcuts on iPhone or iPad


Take care.
