Can iPhone be set up to automatically answer calls with a text message?

I have a 3rd Gen iPhone SE running the latest iOS


Is there a way to have iPhone answer incoming calls automatically with a text message? I mean not without you having to actually field the call and toggle the "answer with text" option.


Like I am mowing the lawn and want the iPhone to respond with a text to incoming calls that "I am mowing the lawn and will call you when I am done" for instance. Of course this would not work for calls from Android... probably....

iPhone SE, iOS 17

You can manually enable the Driving focus and change the message to "I'm mowing the lawn."


Or, change your voicemail greeting.
