Questions about auto-reply

Can TextFox auto-reply only to certain people?

Can I stop auto-replies at night?

Yes. Set quiet hours. Texts that arrive in that window are answered when it ends, with one reply per person to their latest message.

Does it reply to WhatsApp or Messenger?

No. TextFox replies to regular SMS text messages only.

Can AI write the auto-reply?

Yes, if you add your own free Google Gemini key. You can approve each reply in a notification before it is sent, or let it send automatically and get notified.
