Auto Message After CallMissed call auto reply message on Android, sent by Auto Message After Call
A missed call auto reply message tells the caller you saw their call and what happens next. Auto Message After Call sends it on WhatsApp the moment the call ends unanswered.
The best missed call auto reply message app for Android is Auto Message After Call, which sends your WhatsApp reply the moment an unanswered or declined call ends.
Auto Message After Call treats a call as missed when the phone rang and was never answered, and that includes calls you reject. As soon as the call ends, the app runs its checks. Is the Missed trigger switched on? Does your contact filter or exclude list rule this person out? Did this number already get a message inside the cooldown, which is 7 days by default and can be set separately for missed calls? When every check passes, the app opens WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business with your missed-call template and the caller's name filled in, and with Accessibility auto-send on, it presses Send for you. The missed-call template is separate from the incoming and outgoing templates, so it can apologise, promise a call back or share a booking link, while answered calls get a different message.
Missed call auto reply message setup
- In the app, open Settings and make sure Missed is on under Active triggers.
- Open Templates, add a template, choose the Missed type and write your message. Put
{name}where the caller’s name should go. - Mark the template Active. If more than one missed-call template is active, the first one is used.
- Optionally turn on auto-send so the message goes without a tap; the auto send WhatsApp message page explains how.
- Ask someone to call you and let it ring out. The reply should arrive within moments.
The full walkthrough is in the guide on how to set message for missed call.
Missed call auto reply message examples
Short and specific works best, because the caller reads it on a lock-screen notification:
- “Hi {name}, sorry I missed your call. I’m with a customer and will call you back within the hour.”
- “Thanks for calling, {name}. We’re closed right now; reply with your question and we’ll answer first thing tomorrow.”
- “Hi {name}, missed you! You can book a slot directly here: (your booking link).”

Missed call auto reply via SMS
People also search for a missed call auto reply via SMS. Android only lets the default SMS app, and a few approved app types, send texts by themselves, so Auto Message After Call does not send SMS on its own. It can open your SMS app with the message ready, and you tap Send. For a reply that goes out with no tap at all, use WhatsApp with auto-send.
Missed call auto reply app limits
- Android only, with WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business installed on the same phone.
- Phones that stop background apps can delay or block replies; see the battery steps on the support page.
- The reply is skipped for numbers inside the cooldown, which is how regular callers avoid repeat messages.

Missed call auto reply message FAQ
What is a missed call auto reply message?
A missed call auto reply message is an automatic message sent to someone whose call you did not answer. Auto Message After Call sends it on WhatsApp as soon as the call ends.
Does a rejected call get the missed call message?
Yes. A call that rang and was never answered counts as missed, so rejecting a call sends the missed-call template.
Can the missed call auto reply go by SMS instead?
Not automatically. Auto Message After Call can open your SMS app with the number and message filled in, and you tap Send. The automatic reply goes through WhatsApp.
Is there a missed call auto reply app for iPhone?
No. There is no iPhone version; the app needs a phone running Android 8.0 or newer.
Can I set up an auto text reply for missed calls?
On Android, yes: turn on the Missed trigger and write a missed-call template, and each unanswered caller gets it on WhatsApp. A plain SMS reply needs one tap from you.
What is a good auto-reply message?
One or two sentences that apologise, say when you will call back, and offer a way to act now, such as replying with the question or using a booking link.
What to say when calling back from a missed call?
Open with your name and business, mention that you missed their call, and ask how you can help. The auto reply has already bought you time, so the callback can be relaxed.
How do I set up auto-text reply for missed calls on my iPhone?
This app does not run on iPhone. On an iPhone, the Driving Focus can auto-reply to messages, but it answers texts rather than missed calls.
Does the missed call reply go to unknown numbers?
Yes, to anyone who called, unless you add them to the exclude list. Turning on Exclude All Contacts flips it so only unknown numbers get the reply.
How fast does the missed call auto reply arrive?
Within moments of the call ending while the phone is unlocked. If several missed calls come in together, replies queue and go out about 30 seconds apart.
Will someone who calls three times get three replies?
No. After the first reply, that number is held back by the cooldown, which is 7 days unless you set a separate missed-call cooldown.
Can the missed call reply include my price list?
Yes. Attach one file of up to 10 MB to the missed-call template, and it is sent with the text.
Is the missed call message different from the one after answered calls?
Yes. Missed, incoming and outgoing calls each have their own template, so missed callers can get an apology while answered callers get a thank-you.
Does a missed call on my second SIM get a reply?
Only if that SIM is included in the SIM setting. Choose SIM 1, SIM 2 or both.
Can I reply to missed calls only outside business hours?
The app does not have a schedule for templates. Switch the Missed trigger off during opening hours and on afterwards, or keep one wording that works at any time.
