Hello all:
I was wondering how many of you find the audio messaging feature a little quirky inios8. I have noticed that with voiceover on, it doesn't seem to work well with raising the phone to your ear form the lock screen or within the messaging application.
I don't have any trouble with VO off, but I do with vO on. also if you press the keep button, where do the messages go? I can't find the ones you've kept, unless they just simply stay in the message thread?

hi,
they basically stay inside the thread until you delete them. they expire after 2 minuts.

You can I believe also set them to never expire, which I would not do but it's the user's choice.

Hth.

I think you can keep messages as Marrie said. To send them, I find it quick enough to open the thred I want to send the message to, and dubble tap on the "record audio" button. On the second tap, hold, and start talking. Life your finger when done, and you can flick to the send button. I'll be honest, I never tried the rase to record function!
