When was the last time you could send audio messages to others? Your iPhone has such a feature and it has remained hidden in the device for some time. The iOS 8 was released last year and the Message app has continued to have this feature. It allows you to send audio messages with just a few taps.
But there is a limitation to the size of the audio messages – they should be short. They can include your voice or a small clip. It’s not as complex as the voice mail. There’s no need to waste time to dial.
