You can set up an auto-reply email on the iPhone. Emails are one of the most used communication methods, especially for business and professional purposes. So, one should always check their emails regularly. However, sometimes you may not be available on the office or you might have gone on a vacation and you might not be able to check the mails instantly.
Not replying to emails might also make a wrong impression to the sender, therefore, we have the feature of auto-reply email on the iPhone so that you can enjoy your vacation.
The auto-reply email on the iPhone is very useful. Some people also know this message as the out of office message. It will reply to the mail automatically for you with the automatic message that you have set up. This will help others know that you are not available currently and you can also notify them when you will be available through the auto-reply email as well.
This feature is available for applications like Gmail and Outlook an Microsoft Exchange email accounts. However, you can only make auto-reply email on the iPhone for Microsoft Exchange email accounts using the iPhone settings. To use this feature on Gmail or outlook, you need to make the changes in the app’s settings itself.
