Was the Driving Focus Mode permanently removed, or is it called/hidden under another feature? I, along with both my daughters, used this feature and now can not locate it on the new upgrade, iOS 16.0.2. Please help. Thank you.

That is odd. Under the Focus setting, I have Do Not Disturb, Person, Sleep, and Work options. I searched under each of these and could not locate the auto-reply. Am I missing a step? I have been studying for several days for an exam so it could be an oversight. I just looked at my old phone, which had the iOS upgrade 15.6.1; this version has the Driving option under Focus. Thank you so very much for your help.

It's all really easy once you know the secret! Glad it helped. And good luck on the exam.
