Are you going from WhatsApp to Signal or Telegram? This app notifies your contacts

Many people are concerned about the link between WhatsApp and Facebook, or are simply so annoyed by the hours-long outage that they prefer to use a different messenger. If you’re planning to switch from WhatsApp to Signal, Telegram, Session, or any other app for your daily chats, Watomatic lets you make sure people in your contact list know too.

WhatsApp leavers

Although we remain reasonably protected in Europe from everything WhatsApp wants to do with your data, there can be many reasons to prefer to use a different messenger. For example, some offer more options to send messages that disappear after a while or are slightly different in the look of emoji. Whatever your reason for switching, it’s always complicated to just leave an app like WhatsApp behind.

After all, you want to let all those people you have spoken to over the years know that you can no longer be found on WhatsApp and where you can be contacted. This is where Watomatic can help you. It is an open source Android app that automatically replies to WhatsApp messages. You can create your own text here. The app needs notification access and will then reply to all messages you receive on WhatsApp with your written text. You can optionally choose to exclude group chats.

Watomatic

The advantage of Watomatic is that it does not immediately require access to almost everything in your phone, which is often the case with other autoresponders. Watomatic ultimately ensures that your WhatsApp contacts no longer have to grope in the dark if their apps to you remain unanswered: after all, you answered them with the announcement that you have moved. For now, WhatsApp will probably remain one of the world’s largest messengers, but you hear more and more from people who only use Telegram or Signal. So handy to communicate that clearly.
