How to send voice messages on iPhone

  • Initially, launch a Message conversation and tap the plus "+" button. This might seem counter-intuitive as there's a Microphone button on the other side of the text box.
  • From the menu, tap Audio. If you've rearranged your Messages menu, it might be under the More section.
  • Now record what you want to say. There's no requirement to hold anything down to keep recording, but you'll need to tap the Stop button when you're done.
  • Finally, tap Send. If you'd like to listen to your voice message before you do, you can hit the Play button to hear it back.
