Question

Auto text reply.

Is there a way of turning on an auto reply for “out of hours” use. So that anyone who texts or iMessages receives a tailored response letting them know I am unavailable?

Hello, that isn’t really what I asked!

I am in need of a way for my phone to automatically reply to messages with a message of my choice explaining an out of hours emergency message.

There is a better way of doing the same.

Share your Focus status

When you set up a Focus, you can turn on Share Focus Status so that apps display to people who message you that you have notifications silenced. The apps only know that you have notifications silenced. Apps don't know which Focus you have turned on, so the name is never shared. Focus status is shared in apps when you have a Focus turned on and after you give an app permission.

To turn Focus Status on:

Go to Settings > Focus.
Select the Focus you set up.
Tap Focus Status, then turn it on.
