How to Use Auto Reply in GB WhatsApp
Auto reply sends a prepared message automatically when someone contacts you, which is useful when you are busy, away, or managing many conversations. The feature and its options vary between GB WhatsApp versions.
What Auto Reply Does
When auto reply is enabled, incoming messages trigger a saved response automatically. Some versions reply to everyone, while others let you limit it to specific contacts, groups, or time windows.
Because behavior differs between builds, review what your version actually offers before setting expectations.
How to Set Up Auto Reply
- Open GB WhatsApp and go to its settings area.
- Look for an auto reply section, often under tools, mods, or automation.
- Enable auto reply and write the message that should be sent.
- Choose who receives it, such as all contacts or a selected list, if your version offers that control.
- Save and test by having a contact send you a message.
If your build supports scheduling windows, use them so replies only go out during the hours you choose.
Writing a Good Auto Reply
- Keep it short and clear, such as “I will reply soon.”
- Avoid promising a specific response time you cannot keep.
- Do not share sensitive details in an automated message.
- Review the text regularly so it stays accurate.
When Auto Reply Stops Working
Background restrictions
Like other automation, auto reply needs the app to run in the background. Allow background activity and exclude the app from battery optimization.
Option disabled
Check that the auto reply toggle is still on after an update, since updates can reset automation settings.
Replies not reaching everyone
Your rule may be limited to certain contacts. Review the recipient settings of your auto reply.
Auto Reply vs. Scheduled Messages
Auto reply reacts to incoming messages, while scheduling sends a message at a time you set in advance. They are different tools: use auto reply for responsiveness and scheduling for planned follow-ups.
Summary
Enable auto reply from the tools area, write a short message, choose recipients, and test it. Keep the app unrestricted in the background and re-check the toggle after updates.
