I tried to make an automation to connect to BT in the car, launch Spotify if it is not active and just minimalized, so playback won't start. Result? Not only does playback not start, but I also get a stupid notification asking for confirmation. All after yesterday's update IOS an 15.4. Am I doing something wrong, or is it just not working? Moreover, the automation cannot be deleted, I haven't figured out how.. Pls help..
I think the priblble bt confirmation will still be there, it will probably never be removed. You delete the automation by swiping left on the automation name
Thanks Martin.
Editorial office, where can I find the menu for automation to turn off notifications like you have in the gallery?

You have to edit the automation data, and you will find it there
