Android provides a feature that lets you respond to unanswered phone calls with a text message. If you want to let someone know you got their call, but can’t, pick it up. Android provides a handful of canned “Quick Responses.” That you can use as a reply with just a couple of taps. But did you know that you can change these messages?

It takes some time, but it’s easy to do. To start, open the one app. Next, tap the Menu button in the upper right corner of the screen; it’s denoted by three dots. Then tap Settings. Tap General settings, then scroll down if necessary and tap Quick responses. On the following screen, you’ll see a list of the quick responses Android provides to you. To change these, tap them, then enter a new quick response when prompted. If you like your new quick response, go ahead, and tap OK.

You can easily change your phone’s quick responses.

You’re limited to four quick responses. Still, it’s better than nothing. It might make you seem less of a jerk. When you can’t answer your friend’s calls during your weekly 11am meeting.
