IMessage audio messages. Where do they save?

I want to save some of my audio messages as actual files I can transfer and keep on my computer instead of having to scroll and search for them in the text thread. Is there any way to do this? They use to save into voice memos, but no longer. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hello gringoarenoso,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


I understand from your post that you would like to save the audio messages from iMessage to your computer. If you are using a Mac and have Messages in iCloud enabled, you can save the audio file from the message to your Mac. Otherwise you will want to make sure the settings for Audio Messages under Settings > Messages > Audio Messages > Expire is set to Never.
