Text Auto Reply While Driving

FredV — Tue, 03 Oct 2023 17:03:12 GMT

Our state is getting overly aggressive with people who Text in their car. Just looking at a text while driving can cost you several hundred dollars and points on your license. Is there a way to set up a texting auto-responder which would be triggered by a person driving?

For example, I’m driving, and you text me. You would receive back a message saying:

“I’m presently driving and can not look at, nor respond to any text message. I will respond once I have arrived at my destination and have a moment to review messages. Thank you.”

I have been referred to an AT&T app, a SamSung app, Android Auto app; neither of which worked. Is anyone using a simple “guaranteed to work” app to auto respond to texts while driving?

Looking for a reply from someone who knows of a specific app, and not a blind guess.

There are several auto reply text apps offered in the Google Play Store.

I cannot suggest to you a specific app as I use my car's software or Android Auto and can listen to and respond to text messages hands free, which is legal to do in my state.

Correct, there are apps on the Google Play Store. Know which ones work?

That's been the problem. Either the apps are faulty, or the information in various "help" forums is old, incomplete, or in error.

Still looking for a solution. I wish SamSung would step up.

It's an app. That you can download. You asked for advice on what apps actually work, Android Auto does.
