Auto replies for iMessage

Working from home means you’re always available.

Not only are distractions like group messages exhausting, but it interrupts your creative and learning process. People can be demanding too.

Breaks from technology are important too.

But, if you turn on Airplane mode, it may seem that you’re out of reach, and your friends might think you’ve been abducted by aliens.

If only there was an auto-reply function for iMessage.

Well, there is.

It’s easy to hack the iPhone Do Not Disturb While Driving feature to send auto-replies, which is perfect for the following reasons:

• Lets your friends know you’re alive and not to call the police
• Lets your neighbours know that although they can see that you’re working from home, you’re taking a break from technology
• Gives you the freedom to spend hours on a creative project worry-free

Now you have no excuse for checking group messages, except your own free will to choose when you want to check your phone.
