Voice text messaging
hi I seem to have lost my ability to send a “Voice“ text message. Not sure if I accidentally changed some settings. Any advice on how to fix this?

Hey Tita_Leticia,
We'd be happy to help out. Sounds like you're unable to use your voice to send a text.
To clarify, are you using Siri to try to do so or are you just using dictation by tapping on the microphone in the Messages app while within a thread with your onscreen keyboard up?
If this is a dictation issue, make sure you have Dictation enabled under settings > General > Keyboards > Enable Dictation. For more info, check out: Use Dictation on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If this is an issue with using Siri to send a message, the following will be of help: Use Siri on all your Apple devices - Apple Support
We hope this information helps out.
Take care!

Tita_Leticia,
That would be correct that audio messages are for iMessages directly from the Messages app. You can share Voice Memos through regular text messages though: Make a recording in Voice Memos on iPhone - Apple Support
Have a great day.
Thank you so much I think part of my problem was I was trying to send a voice text to someone who did not have an iPhone
