iOS 16

The Open App action requires your device to be unlocked and in use to open and show the app – so it can’t be done in the background.

My action is to turn on/off wi-fi when I arrive/leave a location and set watch face when I leave/arrive at a location. I have to manually run them each time. So much for automation :man_shrugging:

Location based triggers don’t work for shortcuts without confirmation.

However…

Create an empty focus called “location” and have it turn on/off when you arrive/leave there. It will do this automatically.

Use the focus turning on/off as the trigger for your wi-fi shortcut rather than the direct location.

Thanks, I think that is the workaround.

In the last 24 hours I’ve been getting an odd bug in Safari app on latest iOS where opening a new webpage within a tab group other than the main one causes the page to crash and disappear. Is there a way of reporting bugs to Apple?

Feedback - iPhone - Apple (never had a response when I report bugs though, but that could very well be because they’ve had other people report it already)

Thanks, not expecting a reply but I’ll ping something over.

Thank you. That’s super helpful and useful.

Looks like we’ll be getting Advanced Data Protection in iOS 16.3 - deemed to be released next week.

All your devices needs to be on iOS 16.2 or greater otherwise you can’t enable it. This includes old devices which can’t be updated so must be removed from your iCloud account.

iOS 16.3 (RC) is running nicely. I’ve enabled Advanced Data Protection (all devices and OS versions in my account are compatible) and also secured my account with my Yubikeys.

Not long after I made those changes I lost access to Apple TV+ content and did have to wonder if I’d broken something but it appears to have been a general outage.
