Shortcut Automation Options Useless

Why have the options of "When I Arrive" and "When I Leave" as automations and not allow these to run automatically? Makes zero sense to have these as automatic and no option to even manually even run. Why? Is this a psychological fix persae?

Presumably some automations are viewed by Apple as a potential security risk if allowed to run completely automatically. They are triggered automatically, but will ask you for confirmation before actually running the automation:


  • Arrive
  • Leave
  • Before I Commute
  • Email
  • Message
  • Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth


Enable or disable a personal automation in Shortcuts on iPhone or iPad
