To set an out-of-office auto-responder on iOS 15, follow these steps:
1. Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone or iPad. It’s usually represented by a gear icon.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Mail” or “Mail Accounts” (depending on your iOS version).
3. Select the email account for which you want to set up the auto-reply. If you have multiple accounts, you’ll need to repeat these steps for each.
4. Under the selected email account, scroll down and tap on “Automatic Reply”.
5. Toggle the switch next to “Automatic Reply” to turn it on.
6. You’ll see options to set the start and end dates for your out-of-office period. Tap on “Start Date” to choose the date you’ll be away. Then tap on “End Date” to select the date you’ll be back.
7. Below the date options, you can customize your auto-reply message. Tap on the text field under “Reply Message” to enter your personalized message. This is where you can inform senders that you’re currently out of the office and provide any necessary details or alternative contacts.
8. Once you’ve finished composing your auto-reply message, tap on “Save” or the back arrow to save your changes.
That’s it! Your out-of-office auto-responder is now set up on your iOS 15 device. Whenever someone sends you an email during the specified dates, they will receive your predefined message in response.
Remember to turn off the auto-reply feature when you return to regular work by toggling the “Automatic Reply” switch to the off position.
