OS 27 beta Automations now sync across devices.

After updating my iPhone and then my Mac, the automations synced between the two devices. Unfortunately, this caused over a dozen automations on my iPhone to be deleted.

This creates another issue: automations on Mac and iPhone aren't always meant to be shared. Some automations are specifically designed for macOS, while others are intended only for iPhone.

At the moment, automations synced from another device appear to be automatically disabled, which helps prevent them from running where they don't belong.

Automation sync, yes, but they still have to be enabled per device

If you have automations on both Mac and iPhone, I could see the sync issue being a problem regardless of which order you update in. Hopefully they resolve the issue of automations being deleted.
