After updating to iOS 26.6 I noticed a regression in Shortcuts automations.

I created two simple automations:

  • When App Is Opened → Show Notification “OPEN”
  • When App Is Closed → Show Notification “CLOSE”

Steps:

  1. Open Safari (or any app).
  2. Open Control Center or Notification Center.

Actual result:

“CLOSE” is triggered immediately.

Dismissing Control Center or Notification Center does not trigger “OPEN”.

Expected:

Opening system overlays should not generate an App Closed event because the foreground application remains active.

Device: iPhone 13 mini

iOS: 26.6

Can anyone else reproduce this?
