Where do my audio messages go when saved from iMessages? This is after updating to iOS 14. The option to save audio messages appears after you long press on the audio message. But I cannot find where those audio messages are saved after "saving" them from iMessage.
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14
Okay, I just set my iPhone to Never for Expire in Audio Messages. I had someone send me an audio message. Then I long pressed on the message and got the option to Save, which is also the command you would use if you had it set to expire as well. However, despite looking in the Files app, Voice Memo app, the only thing that i can determine is that it is just saved in the Message content itself, not anywhere separately on the iPhone. There is no documentation anywhere that indicates any differently either.

See this, Send photo, video, or audio messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support See the end section about saving.
To be honest, I've never used them. I would need to test that to see if I can locate them. You can wait to see what I find, wait to see if someone else responds, or use the Contact Support link above to speak directly to Apple Support for faster help.
I want to know how to save the audio messages and use them outside to the iMessage app. The iMessage settings have been set to never delete audio messages. My question is about what happens and where audio messages are saved when you save them from iMessage in the way that you would save an image.
That’s what I figured also. This wasn’t the case before when in previous iOS versions, when you saved it, you could view it as an attachment when looking at the details of a conversation. Not sure why the change and like you said, there isn’t much documentation on what exactly happens when you “save” the audio message. Thanks for looking into it.
You're welcome. Like I said, I've never used them, so I couldn't compare to the way it used to be. You can always check with Apple Support if you wish. Take care.
