Hello Sarah Hoger,


We understand you aren't able to send audio text messages on your iPhone. We notice you mention having iOS 16.2 installed. The first best step will be to fully update your iOS to 16.3. An iOS update will often resolve many issues, like the one you've mentioned.


Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


  1. First, back up your iPhone using iCloud or your computer.
  2. Plug your iPhone in to power, then make sure it is connected to Wi-Fi.
  3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
  4. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now.
  5. Let your iPhone restart.
  6. Test audio text messages.


If the issue still isn't resolved, reply back here with what specifically happens when you try to send an audio text. Does the microphone work? Do you get an error message?


Additional details about the issue will help use determine what might be going on and how to help resolve it. We look forward to hearing how it goes.


Best regards.
