How to add automatic replies in Android Auto
In the most recent versions of Android Auto, the user will be able to configure automatic responses, therefore it is convenient to have the updated version. To do this, check the same thing through the Play Store, look for the application and check that there is no last one waiting to be downloaded.
Automatic response can be defined by the system itself with the message "I'm driving, I'll answer you later", it will be sent to certain contacts in our phonebook. The default application puts this message, but we can change it to another if we want a personalized message when receiving a call or receiving messages.
It is convenient to activate it whenever you are driving on a route to avoid taking your eyes off the road as it happens with other apps. Android Auto by default disables the option that the person has the possibility of activating or deactivating it whenever they want.
To activate automatic responses in Android Auto you have to do the following:
- Open the Android Auto app on your mobile device
- Access the Settings option and find "Messages"
- Now enter the "Automatic response" options, here you can adjust the predefined ones or adjust a manual type, you can write the message that will reach the other person, either with a short text or something longer than usual
It is best to define that reply message with a different text, adding a touch of your own so it doesn't seem as cold as "I'm driving, I'll call you later." You will be able to change the message whenever you want, you can even save the previous ones if you don't want to lose them.
