Cheogram vs Watomatic - Auto Reply For WhatsApp
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Cheogram
The Cheogram Android app allows you to join a worldwide communication network. It especially focuses on features useful to users who want to contact those on other networks as well, such as SMS-enabled phone numbers. Based on the app Conversations, but with unique features: * Messages with both media and text, including animated media * Unobtrusive display of subject lines, where present * Links to known contacts are shown with their name * Show timestamps for calls * Integrates with gateways' add contact flows * When using a gateway to the phone network, integrate with the native Android Phone app * Address book integration * Tag contacts and channels and browse by tag * Command UI Where to get service: Cheogram Android requires you have an account with a Jabber service. You can run your own service, or use one provided by someone else, for example: https://snikket.org/hosting/ Art in screenshots is from https://www.peppercarrot.com by David Revoy, CC-BY.

Watomatic - Auto Reply For WhatsApp
Watomatic automatically replies to all your WhatsApp and Facebook messages. This is especially useful if you are planning to migrate away from WhatsApp but can also be used as a simple vacation responder. Features: * Auto reply to every WhatsApp and Facebook messages * Set your own auto reply message * Auto reply to group chats * Respects your privacy * Does not connect to the internet * No Ads * Open Source WhatsApp's recent privacy policy changes have triggered a huge migration to more privacy friendly apps like Signal and others. But most of us find it difficult to delete WhatsApp because everyone else uses it. Watomatic tries to make your migration easier by letting your friends automatically know that you are moved to another app. Just set an auto reply message something like “I am not using WhatsApp anymore. Please use Signal…” and let it do the work for you. Troubleshoot: Watomatic relies on WhatsApp notifications for auto reply to work. Most users usually have notifications enabled so should work straight out of the box but otherwise please make sure WhatsApp notifications are enabled and WhatsApp fingerprint lock is disabled for this app to work. This app is not associated with any company including WhatsApp, Facebook, Signal, Telegram. This uses non standard Android APIs to achieve this so it is not guaranteed to work on all devices.
