Can’t Pick Up Right Now? Use Custom iMessage Replies in iOS | Dramel Notes

Posted On // Leave a Comment

Sometimes, no matter how much we want to talk to someone, we’re stuck in a position where we can’t answer the phone. Apple has a feature in iOS that allows you to hit a quick button and respond to the person who’s calling with a text message. There are three responses included by default, but you can actually change these to anything you want!

Go to Settings, then scroll down and tap Phone. Tap Respond with Text, which is the third item from the top. In there you’ll see three default Apple responses. Just tap on the one you want to change and type in whatever you want.

Now, when someone calls, you’ll see the option to respond with text, but instead of the three default responses, you’ll see your custom messages. Regardless of whether you use your own or the default messages, you are still limited to three, so make them count!

What are you going to use for your custom text replies? Be nice!

How to Configure Custom Replies for Text and Email Messages on Your Apple Watch | Dramel Notes

Posted On // Leave a Comment

You may find yourself sending the same replies to text messages over and over again. There are built-in, canned responses available for text and email messages so you can send a quick reply using your Apple Watch.

Several common phrases are included on your Apple Watch, such as “Yes”, “No”, and “I’m on my way”. However, if you want to use a word or phrase that’s not on the list of default replies, you can change any of the replies to include ones you need. We’ll show you how to edit default replies available on your Apple Watch for both text and email messages.

The default replies cannot be customized on your watch. You must use your phone. To customize the default replies, tap the “Watch” icon on the Home screen.

Make sure the “My Watch” screen is active. If not, tap the “My Watch” icon at the bottom of the screen.

On the “My Watch” screen, tap “Messages”.

Scroll down and tap “Default Replies” on the “Messages” screen.

The list of “Default Replies” list displays. To change one, tap on it.

A cursor displays in the field.

Type the reply you want. Tap the back arrow at the top of the screen to go back to the previous screen. Or, you can simply press the Home button to return to the Home screen.

You can also customize the default replies for the Mail app. On the “My Watch” screen, tap “Mail”.

On the “Mail” screen, tap “Default Replies”.

Edit the default replies to include custom replies, just as you did for text messages.

NOTE: You can also use these default replies when creating new text messages using your watch.

There are also default text messages you can send as replies to phone calls if you can’t answer the calls and these replies can be customized.
