Hey there Mgtcar,


We understand you have a question about sending audio messages, and we'd like to share a resource that can help.


Check it out here: Send photo, video, or audio messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If you're looking for dictation, take a look at this article: Use Dictation on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If you’re not seeing the microphone on the keyboard in Messages, go to Settings > General > Keyboards. Make sure that “Enable Dictation” has been turned on. If it wasn’t, check the keyboard in the Messages app and see if the microphone is available now.


Cheers!
