I can create an automation to turn off Wi-Fi when I get to work but there is no option to run automatically, and asks me if I want to run it. Hoe can I make it run automatically?
 
I can’t seem to find where that toggle is. Looked in settings but didn’t see it.

Seems so simple, but not for me.
 
There are some tasks where Apple requires the user's active confirmation. I guess disabling wi-fi is one of them perhaps because it's a security concern.
 
Thanks. Am I doing it wrong by just adding an automation? May have to call Apple.
 
Played some more with shortcuts. It looks like the location trigger doesn't allow disabling wifi automatically but using Time of Day works.

I cant remember how I did it but on my iPhone...?‍♂️
I have shortcut automation set by location to shut off Wi-Fi when I leave home (about 5 blocks) and to turn back on when I get near home. But I do remember toggling off Ask Before Running

EDIT:
Never mind, it gives shortcut notification saying its off, but I never really checked until today...
It never shutoff regardless of notifications.
Sorry.

The Ask Before Running toggle is not available for the Arrive, Leave and Before I Commute triggers on iOS 15.4.
