Question

How can I save a custom text message to an incoming call?

Community Answer

iPhones have an option when somebody is calling to apply a custom message. The next time someone is calling and you want to do that, just press that button! It usually appears after you press Respond to Messages.

Question

How do I change the message for in the coming calls on my iPhone?

Community Answer

"In the Coming Calls" usually has a message "Hello, I am an incoming call. I take on the form of one.". Double click a message and press "Change Message" to change the message. It will change to "Hello, I am not an incoming call. I don't take on the form of one.".

Question

How do I change the greeting on messages?

Community Answer

Enter Settings on your iPhone and scroll down to "Phone". Underneath "Phone" settings there should be an option for "Respond with Text" or a similar option, depending on what iOS you're on. Tap on it and you can enter up to three different custom responses.
