is there a way to have auto reply text while driving?

Maybe with newer updates we will be pleasantly surprised by some new apps or features that allow auto responding. Fingers crossed!

Submit your feedback requesting those features to Apple:

I've certainly submitted a number of requests about DND because, as it works now, it's pretty much useless to me. The more people who submit request, the more likely Apple is to change things.

Best of luck.

I also have an iPhone 4S and there IS a setting that you can text a message while driving. You will still have to click on it. Maybe Siri helps with this? Go to SETTINGS, then PHONE, go to CALLS, then REPLY WITH MESSAGE. You can set it up to say anything you want. Hope this option helps someone.

It's a nice feature but it is still NOT autoreply. In order to activate that, you need to take your focus off what you are doing to swipe up and then select the proper text.

I too am looking for an app like this. As many other posters have mentioned, for many different situations, but mainly while I'm driving.

Everyone,

Please note that any app Len351 offers you will require you to do something that will void the warranty of your device. Proceed at your own risk.

You can always restore your phone to factory default and the warranty is still intact. It's only if your phone breaks due to something stupid and you're unable to restore it then Apple can say your warranty is void.

If an iPhone is JB, it is not always possible to restore it to an un-JB state.

Have you tried? I've never had problems.

I just sent in my request for an app.

Maybe if enough people request it, Apple will listen.

I used the link provided in one of the responses in this thread to send my request to. Hopefully it goes through.

I stated:

"Hi Apple,

I'm not sure where to send feed back in order to make my voice heard for an automated text app. So, I thought I'd try this form.

I am a business owner who goes to client's homes to care for their animals. When I go on vacation, the only sore spot is I have no automated text. Though I do have automated email response and voice mail response, many of my clients communicate via text, and if I'm out of cell phone range (or just really want to unplug)...I lose business or have unhappy clients because they don't get a text response.

I've read Blackberry has this option.

Can Apple please add it as an option too?

Thank you!"

The app to do this is called Auto Responder 2. Google it to find out more.

That app requires that you jailbreak your phone.

It does? But I thought the iPhone isn't even capable of such an app to work? Fancy that!

It isn't if the built in security and sandboxing remain in place. When you jailbreak it it removes most of the security replacing it with the lame updates from the JB people, and allows access to blocked APIs, other apps etc. If you really need that app it might be a good trade.

That's pretty neat how I replied to Deggie's post about what he said. Then, he edits his post and my post magically gets deleted. No notice from Apple as to why. I'm sure this one will probably get deleted too. Congrats if you get to read. Censorship by Apple must be their main goal. Sounds like communism to me.

Hate to disappoint you Len but I'm not a Host here (moderators have an Apple logo under their name) so I did not edit my post, the Hosts did, just like it says. And they would be the same ones that deleted your post.

Apple is not the government so no, this is not censorship nor communism. It is a private site owned by Apple that has set their own rules.
