Driving Focus Mode auto replies

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong based on the screenshot? I have auto replies enabled for the driving focus mode and the replies are never sent.


It has been this way for all of iOS 15 and now iOS 16. Previously worked perfectly in iOS 14.

Hello Symp EL,


Try ensuring the following option is enabled:


  1. Settings
  2. Messages
  3. At the top look for 'Focus' in the 'Allow Messages to Access' section, and tap on it to enable it

Cheers.
