Here is how to set up an OOO / away message on your text messages.
There are apps for this on Android, but for iPhone, here’s the workaround, shown via photos.
TL;DR on how:
1. Set your phone to Do Not Disturb while driving (Settings -> Do Not Disturb).
2. Manually set your phone to driving mode (Control Center -> Add “Do Not Disturb While Driving” -> select that option).
You can set your away message to whatever you want it to be.
Here’s mine: “Auto-Reply: hi! I’m doing a digital detox. Will return to your text next week.”
Folks can still respond “urgent” or call twice to break through the Do Not Disturb block, in case of emergency.
Let me know with questions.
Enjoy your Labor Day fully! 😉
