Is anyone else having issues with their iMessage voice messages sounding terrible? I can send voice messages through Instagram, fb messenger, any other app and it’s crystal clear and loud. It cannot be the speaker of every other app is producing perfect quality sound.

Hello lulub,
First, we want to get a better understanding of what's happening, along with isolating the issue a bit more.
To confirm, is this occurring with audio messages that you're sending, receiving, or both? We ask as this would help us determine whether this is a speaker or potential microphone issue.
We understand you've tested sending audio messages in other apps. Keep in mind that your iPhone has multiple microphones and speakers, so we'll need to test to see if the same microphone or speaker works in a different native app.
If this is occurring with audio messages you're sending, test out that microphone using the Voice Memos app with the steps in If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working.
, speak at the bottom of your phone, then stop the recording. We look forward to hearing back from you.
Regards.

Hi lulub,
Thanks for the clarifying. Next, we suggest making sure your iPhone is running the latest software version. Updates can sometime resolve software issues such as the one you're experiencing. You can find steps for updating in this article: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Should the issue persist after updating, we suggest you contact Apple Support. They'll be able to look into this with you further.
Take care.
Ok so I just tested the voice memos. The sound is great. Sending audio messages on IMessage seems to be the only instance the audio is really messed up. No other situation does it sound bad. Even using speakerphone while on a phone call works fine.
Sound on iMessage messages awful but not any other app
