Android Apps To Auto-Respond To Chats And Messages When You Are Not Available

If you’re connected to the world via email, multiple instant messaging (IM) apps, social media and more, your smartphone is probably constantly beeping and vibrating to notify you about new messages. And people in today’s always-on world expect a near-instant reply to each communication.

Sometimes, you can’t reply to messages quickly because you’re travelling, other times, you’d like a few hours without notifications to get some work done or binge-watch a series in peace. Luckily, you can download a range of apps for your Android smartphone to respond to messages when you’re otherwise occupied. Alcatel recommends the following:
