How to Set Up Auto Reply in GB WhatsApp
Create automatic replies by keyword, contact or schedule in GB WhatsApp. Below we cover the why, the how and the things to watch out for.
Why use auto reply
Auto replies help when you are driving, in a meeting or on holiday, and small sellers use them to answer common questions.
Steps
- Open the three dot menu and tap Auto reply.
- Tap the plus icon to create a rule.
- Write the reply text and choose who receives it.
- Optionally set a keyword or time window, then save.
Good practice
Keep replies short and clear, and turn rules off when you return so contacts are not confused.
Before you start
Always keep a fresh local backup before changing settings or updating, and remember that GB WhatsApp is unofficial.
