Since iOS 26 WiFi shortcut automatics do not trigger anymore. The same shortcut works fine in iPadOS. I re-installed the shortcut app, toggled the location services but it doesn’t help. Is this a bug?
iPhone 12, iOS 26
What is the trigger to your automation? Joining a specific Wi-Fi network? A location?
As a test, I created an automation that runs when my iPhone (iOS 26.2.1) joins a specific Wi-Fi network. It worked fine when I joined this particular network from Settings.
Don't hesitate to post screenshots of your automation trigger and the content of the automation. (Mask any personal information, such as your network name.)
I have created an automation to send a message upon joining a network. I have tested it and provided the results. I hope this helps.
The Automation steps
Change the WiFi to trigger the automation and send a message automatically.
Thank you for the description but I know how to setup such a workflow. As I wrote, my shortcuts worked flawlessly for years until iOS 26 and are very easy: When I leave my private WiFi the mobile data are switched on. When I enter my work‘s WiFi they are switched off, and vice versa. This behavior completely stopped since iOS 26 because the WiFi feature are no longer triggered. I already wrote, that the same shortcuts still work on my iPad with iPad os 26. I tried everything except re-installing the whole iOS system which I would like to avoid.
I had expressed myself unclearly. That's exactly what I meant. No commands are executed when I join or leave a specific Wi-Fi. This has worked for years without problems and suddenly no longer.
Could you please provide the screenshot of the shortcuts automation that you have created and that is not running?
