Remove Voice icon in texting or iMessages

Please tell me how to remove the voice recorder icon that is always on right end of text iMessage box. Accidentally sending voice recording can be embarrassing!

You cannot. You can let Apple know it's something you'd like to see here:


Product Feedback - Apple


Meanwhile, get into the habit of looking before you send.

isn’t it time for Apple to react on this issue? I have sent feedback to Apple.

No one here in this user-to-user forum can answer why Apple does something and when or if they will change what they don

However, I need a solution now before I embarrass myself again. :)

I already gave you one. Take a breath and look at what you're doing. If you type something in the text box, the voice icon goes away and it's replaced by the send arrow. When you're done texting, go back to the main screen of the Messages app so that you don't accidentally send anything.
