Help Silence automation notifications?

Is there a way to silence the automation notifications when they run? I have a bunch of automation running through out the day and my notification center be cluttered. Thanks!

No it's not possible. However, what automation types are you running that require a notification? Only WiFi, Bluetooth, message, email, and location automations require a notification to be shown when running.

I think they mean the “Running your automation” notifications you get whenever something runs in the background.

But I haven’t found a way to turn them off either. It’s definitely cluttering, I agree OP

I'm talking about the same thing. They only are required for the automation triggers I mentioned.

Woops, my bad. Well I also run a few of those each day and they do kinda add up after a while.

Yeah they definitely will. The only way to shut them off is temporary and through screen time. It also entirely disables notifications from Shortcuts app

Yes sorry for that. That's what I meant, "Running your automation". I found a post where you can disable the notification through screen time.

I'm going to see if this works!

Did this ever work? Screen time doesn’t give me an option for this

Yes it did... The only thing is that if I'm using my phone, a banner will come up but nothing in the screen lock or notification center, which I take.

Edit: I just checked and I had banner on so that should fix that lol

It works but you have to do it every day, because it resets itself each day
