“Away text message auto reply” option

Does the iPhone currently have, or is Apple willing to include, a feature on the iphone that allows "away messages" for texts? It could function in the same manner as an auto reply driving message, but paired with the "do not disturb feature."

You can use the Auto-reply driving message manually. Just change the message to something more appropriate and turn it on manually. It's not going to come on automatically but it's something to use until such time as Apple considers adding the feature you really want.

If you are experiencing any difficulty with third-party apps then please contact the app developer directly --> How to contact an app developer - Apple Support

What you need to do is to contact Apple directly using the feedback link. Let them know that you would like to see this in a future update.

Hmm. If you have it to "Manually" I didn't think it should do that. Good to know.

It doesn't work for me at all. I have DND turned on, blocking all contacts, auto-reply to all contacts and it doesn't work. I have two phones I'm testing with, and neither is sending auto replies.
