Android: What App Do You Use to Schedule Profile Change (Outdoor, Silent)

I was wondering what app do you guys use to schedule to be at work profile in morning where phone is silent

I tried Task/Tasker but it was too complicated to figure out. Another one didn't actually work

I am after simple one that is easy to setup and works.

I don't mind a paid app.

    IFTTT

    You can set a geofence around your house so when you leave or enter a place an event will trigger.

    • A few years ago I found ifttt to drain too much battery in the background. How do you find it?

    I use the built in do not disturb scheduler. Works without a problem.

    • Ah. I missed that. I need to work out to use it

    Can't go wrong with Tasker, it looks pretty complicated but its not really.

    I can help if you have already bought it. I set it so if I am near wifi hotspots which run in / around my work then phone goes to minimum volume, it works really well.

    • Another vote for Tasker :)

    • i used that as well (context is combination of working day, working time, cell near office and wifi near office, then task to mute etc).
      but now i am thinking to do some modification on that, i still want to trigger wifi near but then i want to turn off wifi if not connected after x mins. (i dont connect to wifi at work.)
      but this must work when i go back from lunch for example.

    • Thanks for offer. Let me try Bixby. If that fails I'll reach out for Task help :)

    If you've got a Samsung phone, you can use Bixby Routines that's already built in.

    • Thanks. I'll try it. I have Bixby but never turned it on

    • Ah. Not there in Note 9 :(

      • Bummer… Didn't realise it started with the S10 series. Time for a new phone then? 😜
