    Hi HN!

    I recently made this auto reply app for WhatsApp with a focus on moving away from it. Many are having a hard time convincing friends and family to move away from WhatsApp and I hope this tool helps with that.

    It basically just auto replies to all WhatsApp messages with the message you set. Just enable it and set a message something like "Hey I am not using WhatsApp anymore. Please switch to Signal" and it takes care of the rest.

    - Simple: Set the message and it auto replies to all WhatsApp messages - Option to Auto reply to group chats - Respects your privacy - No analytics or tracking - Does not connect to Internet - Free an open source (GPL)

    Future improvements (just a couple weeks away): - Option to set reply frequency: For example users can set reply frequency to 1 day and it only replies once a day for each person/group. - Support for auto replying Facebook messenger

    Please let me know what you think!
