Toggle specific app notifications on iPhone based on location

March 14, 2021 10:20 AM

Hi, I’m trying to find some automation script that will let me turn notifications for specific apps on or off depending on my location. This could be based on geofencing or connection to specific WiFi SSIDs. I’m using an iPhone 12 running iOS 14.4.

I haven’t played with it myself, but your best bet is via the app Scriptable. Shortcuts (Apple’s built in automation app) does not expose Notification settings as an item for automating. Scriptable appears to access other APIs not available in Shortcuts.

If you figure it out, please post a follow up! I’d certainly be interested in something like this for my own purposes.
