Hey there, Chihood.
At present, the only built-in way to send a text to someone when you don't want to reply to their texts is when using the Driving Focus. The following info comes from the "Turn on Auto-Reply" section of Use the Driving Focus on your iPhone to concentrate on the road, which explains how to set up and configure this feature if it would benefit you:
"
- Go to Settings > Focus and tap Driving.
- Tap Auto-Reply under Options.
- Select an option, like No One, Recents, Favorites, or All Contacts.
From here, you can also customize the auto-reply message that people get when they message you while a Driving Focus is turned on."
You may also benefit from setting up custom Focus configurations which will allow only specific contacts or apps to send you notifications. Learn more about how to Use Focus on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch here.
If you'd like to see the ability to configure auto-replies for text messages or iMessage conversations in a potential future update, be sure to leave that Product Feedback here.
Take care.
