Voice Memo Option in Messages: Why is My iPhone 12 Pro Missing It?


I have an iPhone 12 Pro iOS 15.2.1.


In the Messaging app, I am missing the option to Send/Respond with a voice memo (i.e., the small mic at the right of the textbox).


The mic at the far lower right below the keyboard is for dictation only.


I have turned off iMessage in Settings > Messages > iMessage, so that it would default to SMS. And to no avail, the Voice Memo option is not available.


Does anyone know how to activate the Voice Memo option for the iPhone 12?


iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15
