How to Auto-reply Messages in WhatsApp, and Other Apps

Don’t want to leave your friends or relatives unattended when they message you? Follow this tutorial to easily auto-reply messages in WhatsApp, Email, Telegram, etc.

We are well versed with the auto-reply functionality in Android. The feature lets your device auto-respond to missed/canceled calls with a pre-defined message. Such a feature is pretty efficient when you’re driving to the gym, taking a shower, and in-mid of any such situation. A message like “I’ll call you right back” is always more convenient and lets the person on the other end know that you’re aware that they tried to contact you. We mostly do this for the sake of courtesy, so that the person on the other end acknowledges that we are engaged somewhere else.

Well, this feature is mostly limited to the calls only and barely sees the light with text messages, let alone third-party apps like our favorite WhatsApp or Telegram. But wait, we still can auto-reply messages in WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Email, and much more by just using a single app for the job.
