How to Use Auto Reply in GB WhatsApp (2026)

Auto reply sends a preset message when someone contacts you, which is useful when you are driving, studying or away from your phone.

Set Up Auto Reply

  1. Open GB WhatsApp and tap the three-dot menu.
  2. Go to GB Settings > Universal > Auto reply (the path may differ).
  3. Tap Add and write the incoming message or keyword that should trigger a reply.
  4. Enter the reply text.
  5. Choose who it applies to: all contacts, selected contacts or groups.
  6. Turn the feature on and save.

Example Replies

  • “I’m busy right now and will reply soon.”
  • “Our working hours are 9 am to 6 pm.”
  • “Thanks for your message. Please send your order number.”

Best Practices

  • Keep replies short and clear.
  • Avoid auto-replying in large groups, which can look like spam.
  • Do not use it for bulk promotion, which is a common reason for bans.
  • Turn it off when you are available.

Better Option for Businesses

The official WhatsApp Business app has built-in away messages, greeting messages and quick replies, with no mod-related risk. See GB WhatsApp for work.

Not Working?
