Apple Shortcuts iMessage “Show not run” error
I have been working to automate sending photos over iMessage automation, but whenever I have toggled “Show when run” off, it still shows when it runs. Any fixes?

When you run an automation in the Shortcuts app on your iPhone, it may require approval from the user before it can be executed. This is a security feature that is designed to prevent unauthorized access to your device or sensitive data.
In particular, when an automation involves accessing or modifying sensitive data, such as your contacts, location, or camera, health data, Home App the Shortcuts app will prompt you for approval before allowing the automation to proceed. This helps to ensure that you are aware of what the automation is doing and have the opportunity to approve or deny access to your data.
Additionally, if an automation is triggered by a shortcut that has the "Ask Before Running" option enabled, you will be prompted to confirm that you want to run the automation before it is executed. This can help prevent accidental or unintended actions from being performed by the automation.
Overall, the approval process for running an automation is an important security feature that helps to ensure that your data and device are protected from unauthorized access or misuse.
Clappycan ~ Please post a screenshot of your shortcut and show or describe what you're seeing when you say: "it still shows when it runs." ...Below is the notification I see when my 'Message Test' shortcut runs. Apart from that and Siri confirming it got past the 'Send' action, nothing else happens.

Clappycan ~ I don't see a “Show when run” toggle in iOS 16.5 Shortcuts. What model of iPhone are you using?...
Settings > General > About > Model Name
And what version of iOS is it running?...
Settings > General > About > iOS Version

This is not an automation, it’s just a normal shortcut. My idea was for the user to select some contacts and a batch of photos which would automatically be sent to said contacts.
I’m running iOS 16.4.1 (a) on an iPhone 13. The show when run toggle I see is found on the “send message” action when you tap the arrow to show another menu.
These are screenshots of my program and the result of when I run it.
Thanks for the help, Alancito!
