It\u2019s an open-sourced Android app that automatically responds to your WhatsApp messages with a custom text indicating that you\u2019ve switched to another app.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works: once you install the app on your Android phone and give it notification access, it\u2019ll reply to all messages you receive with a pre-defined text. You can change this text to whatever you want. Plus, you can choose to exclude group chats from getting overwhelmed with these responses.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1350696 js-lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"402\" height=\"800\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 402px) 100vw, 402px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_20210512_153654-e1620814354920-796x1583.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_20210512_153654-e1620814354920-796x1583.jpeg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_20210512_153654-e1620814354920-106x210.jpeg 106w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_20210512_153654-e1620814354920-136x270.jpeg 136w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_20210512_153654-e1620814354920-68x135.jpeg 68w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_20210512_153654-e1620814354920.jpeg 1075w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/news\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Fplugged%2F2021%2F05%2F12%2Fthis-whatsapp-auto-responder-will-tell-your-contacts-youve-changed-messaging-services%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: Watomatic auto responder for WhatsApp\" data-title=\"Share Watomatic auto responder for WhatsApp on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share Watomatic auto responder for WhatsApp on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>Watomatic auto responder for WhatsApp<\/figcaption><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1350696\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_20210512_153654-e1620814354920-796x1583.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"402\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_20210512_153654-e1620814354920-796x1583.jpeg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_20210512_153654-e1620814354920-106x210.jpeg 106w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_20210512_153654-e1620814354920-136x270.jpeg 136w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_20210512_153654-e1620814354920-68x135.jpeg 68w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_20210512_153654-e1620814354920.jpeg 1075w\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>Currently, this app works with WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.
