Can't Talk is an Android application that sends automatic responses to received messages across all platforms.

Overview

Can't Talk serves as a digital personal assistant, responding to incoming messages on your behalf when you're unable to do so. This app offers you the flexibility to inform your contacts that you're presently engaged, ensuring timely responses without interruption of your current activities. The application's free version permits automated responses to missed calls and text messages, while the paid version extends this functionality to a wide range of messaging applications.

Features

The salient feature of Can't Talk is its ability to manage responses across various messaging platforms. With the premium version, users can automate responses not only for conventional calls and texts but also for messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and Twitter. The application offers a 14-day trial period, which grants users access to all features, providing a comprehensive experience before committing to purchase.

Setting up Can't Talk is a straightforward process. Users must input the response they wish to be sent automatically, select the contacts to whom the response will be sent, and choose the apps on which this feature will be activated.

Performance

Can't Talk is a reliable application that ensures your contacts are notified of your unavailability without you needing to check your phone or tablet. With its user-friendly interface, the app facilitates quick setup and operation, making it a handy tool for users juggling multiple activities and responsibilities.

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • READ_CONTACTS: Allows an application to read the user's contacts data.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.
  • READ_SMS: Allows an application to read SMS messages.
  • RECEIVE_SMS: Allows an application to receive SMS messages.
  • SEND_SMS: Allows an application to send SMS messages.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • BLUETOOTH: Allows applications to connect to paired bluetooth devices.
  • BROADCAST_STICKY: Allows an application to broadcast sticky intents. These are broadcasts whose data is held by the system after being finished, so that clients can quickly retrieve that data without having to wait for the next broadcast.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
