Head over to your vacation message template, and Hit Control + C to paste your signature into your out of office notification. This way, when someone contacts you while you’re on vacay, they can still:
The UPS driver is scheduled to pick me back up on the eighth. He should deliver me back to the office by the ninth (assuming he’s not late like he was this time).

But to set a vacation mode on the iPhone, it is better to select manually. This will give you more control to change the mode at any time.
By which I mean to say: I’m on holiday, I’m definitely sunburnt, and I’m sorry I missed your email.
Yeah, that’s not enough to stress over. Try coming back to tens of thousands after parental leave.
