How to send automatic messages on WhatsApp

A long time ago, in a galaxy very, very close, when SMS still existed, we were able to personalize messages that were sent automatically, when we couldn't. We were in a meeting and, with the press of a button, we sent the recipient a concise 'Busy, I'll call you later' or 'I'm in a meeting, I'll let you know later'. Times have changed and this process can be carried out in a much simpler way.

Answering machine, an app to send WhatsApp messages

Imagine you're at the movies and you're waiting for an important message on WhatsApp. Never ever, please, send a message in the cinema. The light bothers others and you have to have a minimum of respect. And not only in the cinema: there are times when the use of the telephone is unnecessary, but unfortunately, society is built so that we are always connected. If you don't answer soon, bad. So that's what the 'Answering machine' app is for. Free, easy to use. And it will save you from more than one trouble.

You can download the 'Automatic Answering Machine' app from the Play Store right now and completely free of charge. When you open the application, the cute character will guide you through the first steps to configure, namely:

• Give permissions to the app to access notifications. If you don't allow the app access, it won't be able to vouch for you.
• The app reminds you that, once it has answered for you, it will remove the WhatsApp notification from the status bar.

Once the configuration is finished, let's focus on the core of the app: this is an application with very simple and intuitive mechanics. You will not have any problem adjusting it to your needs. The first thing we find is the application's on and off button. When you are too busy to answer, slide the switch to the right. A notification icon will appear on the status bar, reminding you that the app will send messages for you. You can ignore the other two buttons.

This is how the app notifies you that it is sending messages

Reply

In this section you can set the phrase you want as automatic response.You can send anything you can think of: witty phrases, something more serious... Anything will be valid to let you know that, at that moment, you cannot attend. However, you will only have 100 characters to write the phrase, so choose carefully.

Interval between replies (contacts)

This section could be better: the time that the app gives us to send the automatic message is only 15 seconds. If you take 16 minutes to reply, the recipient will have already received that you are busy. The minimum time is 3 seconds. At the moment and waiting for updates, it is what it is.

Interval between replies (groups)

Here the intervals go between 5 minutes and the hour, so this section is much better optimized than the previous one. But it will be of little use to us, because most of the groups are silent, right?

So you know, from now on, if you want to send messages automatically on WhatsApp, with this app it's totally possible. We have tested it and it works perfectly. In addition, it has a fairly high score in the store and is updated regularly. What are you waiting for to try it?
