App to change phone settings automatically based on location

[Eric747]

I read somewhere about this app but can't find it. I allowed to apply different phone settings in different places (it wasnt gps based though)... suppose you are at work but you don't want to use local wifi and prefer to use data from your own data sim. You can "train" the app to recognize the surroundings (based on wireless networks) and apply specific settings.



Can anyone Point me in right direction?

IFTTT is a popular option.

Surely you can just forget the work WiFi on your phone though?

Even Automate from LlamaLab?

if you have a samsung phone - bixby routines

if not, then if this then that


Edit: the interface on Tasker and automate might be a bit tricky for "non-power users" hence the ITTT recommendation

Tasker now has a separate interface - known as Tasky - that you can access on installation of the app or from the Tasker main menu. It's a whole bunch of prebuilt routines so you don't have to battle with the Tasker interface. I haven't checked if this particular use case is covered there but I suspect it is.
