Set iPhone to Do Not Disturb when arriving at the Club
This project shows the steps to take on your iPhone such that it will automatically turn on 'Do Not Disturb' when arriving at Phyllis Court (or anywhere else you care to choose). Please note: Apple security policy does not allow you to install a pre-made Automation (unlike a Shortcut as above) so you will need to follow the steps in the screenshots below. If you didn’t turn on Location Services when you first set up iPhone, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services, then turn on Location Services.
​
Once you have successfully completed this project, remember to repeat to create another Automation to turn 'Do Not Disturb' off when leaving the Club...
Set Android Phone to Do Not Disturb when arriving at the Club

This can be done with the free version of the app; if you wish to create more then a small fee is required.
