Alright, let’s cut the corporate nonsense and talk real life. Honestly, who’s got time to answer every single text or call these days? You blink, and you’ve missed three messages, your boss is side-eyeing you, and your group chat already planned brunch without you. Classic.

Enter Auto Text—this little app’s basically your digital assistant, minus the awkward small talk. You slap it on your Android phone, and suddenly, you’re a messaging ninja. Auto-replies? Yeah, it’s got those. You can set up different auto-messages for your mom, your boss, or that one friend who only texts at 2 a.m. No more “Sorry I missed this!” at 4:30 in the morning.

Scheduling messages? Super easy. Forgot your friend’s birthday last year? Never again. Set up a pre-cooked “Happy Birthday!” days in advance and boom—you look thoughtful without even trying. You can also blast out messages to a whole bunch of people at once, so if you’re running a business, or just trying to wrangle your fantasy football league, it’s a lifesaver.

And the recurring messages thing? Wildly underrated. Set it to remind your roommate to take out the trash every Thursday, or ping your team every morning about the daily standup. Customize it down to the minute if you want. No judgment.

Smart replies are pretty slick, too. You can set rules like, “If someone texts ‘urgent,’ send them my work number,” or whatever fits your vibe. And if you hate typing, just talk—Text to Speech handles the rest.

Oh, and my personal favorite: you can fake an incoming call.  Boom, fake call, excuse yourself, go grab a coffee. You’re welcome.

Everything gets logged, so you can see what went out, what came in, and who you still need to reply to. You get all this for free on Google Play (yeah, there are ads, but come on—it’s 2024, what isn’t ad-supported?).

If you’re not running at least Android 4.4, I mean, come on, upgrade already. The app asks for some permissions—standard stuff—so don’t freak when it wants access to your contacts or mic.

Bottom line: Auto Text takes your messaging game from “I’m so sorry, I missed your text!”  Magic? Not quite. Just smart tech, doing the heavy lifting. Try it and, honestly, thank me later.
