Need help with imessage check in feature

When I send someone a check in with iMessage, it always defaults to showing a timer. I have to hit edit, choose "when I arrive" and then manually input an address. Is there any way I can set it so it always defaults to a location like my home, instead of defaulting to the timer option?

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

Apple shortcuts – automation – using the sunrise and sunset settings to send messages or create alerts I am not able to create an actionable alert in automation using the sunrise and sunset option. For example, I created an alert to send me a message one hour before sunset but it doesn’t execute even though I have selected the option to execute automatically without asking what is the solution to this problem? Do I have to change any settings? The alerts do not work neither with iMessage Nor with WhatsApp. WhatsApp does not have any sort of face ID or password protection to open so it is not restricting sending messages if I take the same message and put in a specific time the message goes through be it iMessage or WhatsApp or any other messaging app that is supported by shortcuts. Please help

Dearest Apple,

I too am having the same issue. I love using the feature but having to switch from timer to check in and manually add in my address every time is annoying. Please help!
