About Watomatic

This is especially useful if you are planning to migrate away from WhatsApp but can also be used as a simple vacation responder. Features: * Auto reply to every WhatsApp and Facebook messages * Set your own auto reply message * Auto reply to group chats * Respects your privacy * Does not connect to the internet * No Ads * Open Source WhatsApp's recent privacy policy changes have triggered a huge migration to more privacy friendly apps like Signal and others. But most of us find it difficult to delete WhatsApp because everyone else uses it.
