Audio recorder on my iPhone Messages app turns itself on

Since the 17 update, when I am in messages and I finish sending a text the audio message will start recording on its own without me selecting anything. I do not mean dictation. With the 17 update you now have the option to hit the plus and you get the options like photos, camera and that’s where the option to send an audio message is now. It is no longer on the text box like it use to be but yet it still pops up randomly and starts recording. Does anyone else have this issue or is there a shortcut on the message screen that I am somehow tapping that I have not figured out yet? Thanks

I have been very annoyed by this occurring, and I FINALLY FOUND THE WAY TO FIX IT!!

Settings > Messages > under “Audio Messages” near the bottom, deactivate “Raise to Listen”

— it’s unclear because the description makes it seem to be about listening and replying to an audio message that’s been sent, BUT IT APPLIES TO THE ‘AUTO-RECORD’ NUISANCE!

Enjoy!

This isn’t available on the 13, is there another way to disable it? I’m ready to get a Samsung, otherwise. My 8 worked perfectly, I wish I still had it!

Yes it is. Just do what Dr_JY said: Setting > Apps > Messages > Raise to Listen.

I have tried suggested remedies to get rid of my phone adding text to messages or anything else that I might be typing! As in signing in to Apple. Help

What OS are you using? I am using 17.7.1 and that option is there.

I have the same issue. However, there is no "raise to listen" option on my iPhone 12 with operating system 18.2.1

Anyone else?

Sorry, the SEARCH bar is right at the top when you go into SETTINGS. The SEARCH that is above SIRI is to adjust the settings for the SEARCH feature.

Omg the top ranking reply that says turn off raise to listen really worked!

My phone kept doing this when I would click somebody's contact info inside the text thread. As soon as I clicked done it would start recording so annoying but this fixed it thank u!

Mine records randomly after I’ve sent texts and the Raise to Listen was off. I toggled it on and off again, but Apple needs to fix this!
