    Hello! I recently got a Cellular/LTE Apple Watch (Series 4) that I activated on Verizon. My number sharing works fine (calls to my phone number properly ring on my Watch when my Watch is on LTE).

    Sending "AWAY" text messages?

    Is there no way at all to automatically send replies to text messages? I will be going "off grid" for some time and want people to know that I am away and not able to respond when they text me. Would this be an iphone thing? Or a Verizon thing? Is it even possible?
