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

Safety issue: How do I make siri read my outgoing texts then ask me whether to send them? When driving, I say "Hey siri. Send a message to recipient." she replies "what do you want to say." I say my message, but she doesn't read it back anymore, and she doesn't ask me whether to send it or say whether she sent it. This is a safety problem. She used to read the outgoing text and ask whether to send. THen she would announce "done." so I knew the text had been sent. Or "okay I won't send it." If I said "don't send it." I never had to look at the screen while driving. Now I have to read all these prompts and my responses to know what's going on, distracting me from driving. How do I get siri to behave as before, reading outgoing texts and asking whether to send them?
