    Switch on animations temporarily for Animation Overlay action?

    I like the new Animation Overlay action but, for it to work, animations need to be enabled on the phone. Is there a way to switch animations on temporarily to run the action, then turn them off again after?

    Macrodroid restarts after every Send Email action

    Ever since I received MacroDroid v5.36.8 Pro, every time the Send Email action is used, the email sends correctly, but MacroDroid then stops and reinitialises. Is anyone else having the same issue? Samsung S21FE on Android 12

    Show Action Block Input/Output Variables in sorted order when configuring

    Currently, when configuring a call to an Action Block, the Input and Output Variables are shown in created order- could we have them in alphanumeric order, the same as shown in the actual Action Block? Thanks

    Bug? Can't use {iterator_value} when configuring If condition

    When I'm using the Iterate Array action, and configuring an If condition within it, {iterator_value} isn't allowed in Expression comparisons- is this a bug? I've tried both square and curly brackets. Instead I have to assign {iterator_value} to a local variable and use that in the comparison

    What's the purpose of the Variable option in If condition?

    When configuring an If condition there's an option to specify a comparison with a Variable, yet all the variables are available from the Expression magic text, so I'm just wondering why's there this extra option?

    Arrays with Action Blocks: weird bug?

    Unless my understanding of arrays is wrong (it could well be), this is a weird bug (v5.30.7 Pro). In a macro, I have an array of decimals with seven entries. If I set up a loop to set each entry to a fixed value eg 1.0, it works fine: However, if I try to do this via an Action Block, the last...

    Action Block action to display some info about parameters passed

    When I call an Action Block, there's absolutely no indication of what data is being passed to it, so I have to tap Configure in order to see. I know I could add a Comment, but it would be so much nicer if the action would simply show, at least partially, some information on the data being...

    Set Digital Assistant doesn't (quite) work

    When the Set Digital Assistant (to MacroDroid) action runs, either manually or in a macro, it doesn't appear to work fully. In the phone Settings the Device Assistance App is correctly shown as MacroDroid, but when I tap on it, it shows that the actual Digital Assistance app is still Google...

    Home Screen Widget or Shortcut for "Edit Last Opened Macro"

    Often, when working on a macro, we have to leave MacroDroid to test that the macro works. Such a Widget or Shortcut would enable us to instantly return to the code of the macro we're currently working on. Thanks!...

    Action to enable "appear on top" and "set Device Assistance app"

    The new Accessibilty Service: Enable action is fantastic for automatically re-enabling all the Accessibility permissions when they're lost due to MacroDroid unexpectedly restarting as it does from time to time. Is there any chance of similar actions to: 1. Allow MacroDroid to appear on top of...

    User-defined icons in Set Macrodroid Icon action

    We can already upload and use our own icons for the Widget Button Modify action- would it be possible to use these same icons in Set Macrodroid Icon?...

    Why does Fill Clipboard action often fail?

    I find that I often need to repeat the Fill Clipboard action multiple times before it works, so I use an Action Block something like this: Fill Clipboard [lv=s] Wait 5 seconds While s != [clipboard] .... Log Event: Failed to set Clipboard .... Fill Clipboard [lv=s] .... Wait 5 seconds End Loop...

    Speak Text action: Pitch and Speed sliders to show their values

    In the same way as the Volume Change action, could the Speak Text action show the Pitch and Speed sliders with their values and/or obtain them from a variable? Otherwise it's very difficult to replicate the exact same Pitch and Speed in other Speak Text actions (except by copying and pasting...

    Get device's current timezone offset?

    Is it possible to get the device's current timezone / offset? Eg I'm in the UK and we're now in British Summer Time, so the current offset is UTC+1. If I was currently in, say, Sydney (I wish), the current UTC offset on my device would be +10. Can I get that current offset figure...

    Text Box for User Input

    Is there any chance of an option for a Text Box (with word-wrap) for the Set Variable - User Input action? Currently we can only enter about 23 characters before we have to start scrolling left and right to see the whole input. Thanks!...

    Only the first Popup Message in a macro is displayed

    On my new Samsung S21FE with Android 12, I have a simple macro: Popup Message 1 Popup Message 2 Popup Message 3 When I test it via Test Actions or Test Macro it works fine, but when I run it via a Shortcut or Widget only the first Popup is displayed. The System Log states that all three...

    Samsung S21FE: Proximity Sensor always returns 'Far'

    Unlike the virtual one of the S20FE, I believe the S21FE has an actual Proximity Sensor. I've tested the sensor through the Samsung Members app and all seems to be fine; however, in MacroDroid, when I use the Proxmiity Sensor: Near Trigger, or test for Proximity Sensor = Near in a condition...

    Ignore error-checking for disabled Actions

    Having had to purchase a new Android 12 phone to replace my trusty Android 8, I'm finding that a lot of my macros need to be rewritten/adjusted, which I have to do one-by-one. If I have a macro that includes a reference to, say, an as-yet unimported macro, even if I disable the relevant...
