I find that I constantly reject calls when I pick up my iPhone because the "Reply with message" screen is touched before I can find the "Answer" button. I can't find a setting to turn off the "Reply with message" "feature" only to change the message. How do I get rid of this annoying "feature?"
You can try to go to Settings > Phone > Reply With Message. Then just tap the x next to the responses to delete them. I don't think I can be turned off. Just don't rush when answering, the answer button is the green one.
That doesn't do it. The three stock messages are grey and have no "X."
When I pick up my phone out of my pocket, the reply buttons are triggered before I can see the screen.
I have had the same problem. Last week, I actually responded with "what's up" to a client! It was horrifying and embarassing and I had to perfusely apologize. How unprofessional. A lot of consulting firms are starting to use iPhones, so Apple had better get a fix for this quick.
Has anyone found a way to disable this?
I have only found one solution: to put a password on my phone, and then go to settings -> general -> passlock -> reply with message OFF. Is there a way to do this without having to add a passcode?
Apple REALLY needs to take care of this. It's destroying my business, as I seem to accidentally hit the stupid button EVERY time I fish my phone out of my purse.
I agree completely. I just upgraded to an iPhone5s with iOS8 and am seriously thinking about returning it and going back to my 4s which still has iOS6 because of this feature. This is a stupid feature if you keep your phone in your pocket or purse and I am sure I will accidentally hit that and send a message to a client with it.
