Can I upload a custom voicemail greeting?

Hello! I would like to upload a custom voicemail greeting for my iPhone. I know you can record custom greetings directly from the Phone app, but let's be real here - iPhones don't have the best microphones; Which is why I'd like to know if there's any way I can record a custom greeting using my computer [which has a much better microphone connected to it] and then upload that to my iPhone instead. I did find one method, but it seemed sort of sketchy and was from like 2008.

iPhone 7, iOS 14

This is something that I had been attempting to resolve for years. There is no direct away available on an iPhone to "upload" a greeting. The only way that I know of is what you know and that is to record a custom greeting in the phone app. You have a better microphone you stated. Can you not connect it to the lightning port via an adapter and then record it using that microphone?

I understand. Just note that the adapter can be used with older wired headphones that have a headphone jack as well. Just in case you have some of those laying around in the household. I know I do.

You're right, I could just connect it using an adapter, but to be honest I'd rather not buy an adapter just to use it once. Thanks for helping out.
