Hi! My voice messages are not working on my iMessages. I have tried other apps and it works but won’t allow me to start recording a voice message. I have updated to the new iOS 15. Any insight on how to fix this. Thank you
iPhone X, iOS 15
Just purchased a new iPhone 13 mini, and I’m having the same problem with iOS 15.0.2 I’ve tried everything, but the voice message button simply won’t start a recording. It’s very frustrating. Where is the fix ? I’ve done multiple phone restarts and app restarts and this problem persists.

So I had this issue too.. and I noticed I had “sound recognition” set to ON in my control center. Once I turned that off, it worked! Having sound recognition disables “hey Siri” as well
Mine too… Super annoying. When you start ‘recording’ it just says 0:00 the whole time? 🙄
Did your ‘hey siri’ stopped working too eventhough everything is on?
I really hope they fix this ASAP.
agree no fix
hope apple corrects
man hour recording locked up
now plays 5 seconds of nothing but shows an hour recording of something I need
have done everything online suggestions
nothing works!
enough complaints hope apple fixes voice memos!!
going to get an alternate app that works!
I have the same problem, I have tried everything and nothing works. It happened with my iPhone 12 on iOS 14 and it’s now happening on my iPhone 13 Pro on iOS 15, I was hoping that switching phones was gonna fix the problem but no. And I’m not going to do a hard reset and lose my stuff only because they don’t know how to fix this issue. So annoying.
Hello Jhjohn22,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities!
We see that your audio messages on your iPhone are not working and you referred to If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
We’d be happy to help you!
We recommend restarting your iPhone per Restart your iPhone if you have not already.
Did this issue start after updating to iOS 15 or before?
Take care.
Wow this worked thank you so much I had no idea and it was so frustrating!
That worked. Thank you!!
I had to do a full phone reset. I lost some contacts and pictures but it now works lol. Good luck with your problem
Oh.. like to factory settings? 🥺
Maybe I’ll try it too
I keep hoping that it will just go away with new updates, but nothing happens
You are a genius, this fixed it. Thanks!
Thank youuuuuu
Omg thank you sooo much!!!
