I have started to use shortcuts. Am finding them really useful. One issue I face is everytime I run one I get the banner notification which is irritating. Is there a way of switcing this off ?
Got a tip for us?

How to Block Shortcuts Notifications from Showing Up Every Time You Run an Automation on Your iPhone
There are a lot of cool shortcuts you could run on your iPhone, but in iOS 13 and iOS 14, you'll likely see a notification any time you try to run an automation. Shortcuts should feel seamless when their actions are performed, and getting a banner alert each time one initializes takes away the...

Although I haven't tested it, apparently if you've got Screen Time enabled, you can disable the Shortcuts notification from there. If you're enabling Screen Time for the first time, you may need to keep Shortcuts open for a few hours to allow it to populate in Screen Time, and then once you see it in Screen Time's Notifications area, you can tap to get the detail and disable Notifications.
In case the arrow next to „shortcuts“ is missing: just scroll up and switch from day to week and then back to day view. The arrow should now be there. It‘s a bug.
Okay now I see! You have to trigger an automation first. Then go to screen time and scroll all the way down(!) to the notifications section. There is another „shortcuts“ entry. There you should find the notification settings.
Found it thanks, turned all off but they still appear. I guess it’s another Apple issue
You've probably already done this, but be sure your script steps contain no notification or previewing steps that might trigger a notification. Perhaps there are other ways within the script to suppress notifications. I've got a couple of basic scripts that don't trigger notifications.
These notifications are annoying. I assume this is an oversight by Apple rather than a bug. I'm sure there are some things that a person might want to receive a notification for, but at least give us the option to turn them off. I don't need a notification that my automation ran to turn off wifi when I connect to CarPlay. And then when I disconnect.
Yea that kinda stinks. I wish Apple would make a proper way for it. I’ve read that it used to be an option but it was removed.
