Shortcuts

I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to make a shortcut that automatically sends a text to whoever texts me first. For example if I turn on do not disturb and someone texts me I want an automatic response saying I’m asleep. Is this possible?

iPhone 11, iOS 15

If you turn on "Do Not Disturb", a message appears in the text dialog stating "[Name] has notifications silenced".


However, you can set up auto-reply by using a 'Driving' focus status. Simply go to Settings > Focus > + > Driving and work through the boxes. After finishing, notice the new option "Auto-Reply" as seen below-




Click on it and change it to "All Contacts", then customize the "Auto-Reply Message". It should then auto-reply to anyone who sends you a message with the Focus on.
