I have this problem as well. Your solution though doesn't fix the problem. There is clearly a BUG in iOS 15. I have a brand new 13 Pro. When I connect to Car Play Driving Focus is automatically tuned on as before. However any text I receive NEVER gets an auto-reply.

Before you walk me thru novice iPhone user config troubleshooting, I have All Contacts selected under Options and have None Allowed for People under Allowed Notifications and confirmed that I have an auto-reply message.

This was working properly prior to iOS 15 and since the install it has stopped. IT is also no longer working on my wife's iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 15.

This is a BUG and needs to be fixed.

The original question was where to find the text for the auto-reply while driving messages. The answer given was 100% correct.

It sounds as if you have a different problem. You'd be more likely to get answers to your question if you started your own thread.

I am having the same issue as asebasti. I even went into the Xfinity store. No answers. I need auto reply to work in the evening as I am a medical professional. When will this issue be fixed?
