Question about chat status auto-replies

[Xanek]

Edit: I have a nokia lumia 1020

Do chat status auto-replies only auto-reply to other windows phone 8's, or doe sit auto-reply to everyone?

I have set my chat status to busy, though my sister, on an iphone 5, doesn't get the auto-reply that i'm busy.

If another windows phone 8 user sends a text while i'm set to busy, do they also receive it, and if so, does it also show up on my side that it sent an auto-reply?

It auto replies to anyone. My friend who has an iPhone gets my auto replies.

Why doesn't anyone that text me get it then?
When I set the chat status to busy, i see my skype on my desktop go busy... so is it not tied to my text messages?

Edit: Messaging -> status -> Busy.
Skype changes to busy, no auto-replies.
One of my friends online has a windows phone and it tells me when they're set to busy, but mine doesn't?

Edit2: Apparently the status button is because I have a facebook app installed?
If this is the only reason, then how do I make it so I can have auto-replies for text messages...?

Still have no idea if I am thinking of the wrong thing or not...

I don't use Facebook. and my friends who text me don't use Skype. These friends only use regular SMS/MMS.

I use Cortana Quiet Hours, and anyone outside of my Inner Circle gets the busy message if they send me SMS/MMS.

Is something wrong with my phone then since it doesn't auto reply? Or does it not work due to having a Facebook app and Skype app on my phone?

Just updated to 8.1 on my 1020 and now the status button isn't there anymore...
