Missing Voice Memo option in Messages

I have the new iPhone12 Pro with OS 14.2.1. In the messaging app, there is no longer an option to send/respond with a voice memo. Used to be a little mic at right of the text box - gone. Mic at far lower right (below keyboard) just does dictation. Checked out all the app options immediately below the text entry box - nothing for voice memos. Tried editing the available apps list within Messaging - unable to add anything new, only delete. Found nothing useful in Settings for getting voice option back into Messaging.

Going all the way out to the Voice Memo app and sharing via messaging is tedious and stupid for a phone of this price point.

Anyone out there have a real solution?

Thanks.

This option will come up only if you are sending iMessages (Blue) and not for SMS (Green)
