iphone only sending 10 second voice messages in apps?

It appears it might actually be the screen protector. Try this to get past ten seconds and in fact go as long as you like. Just move your finger around very slightly as you hold the mic icon. This keeps the screen sensing your input. If I stop moving at any point the message stops exactly ten seconds later in both imessage and whatsapp. I have a glass protector. Might have or try without sometime

I’ve found a solution to my problem with voice notes only being recorded for 10 secs or less. What I simply did was touch and hold the mic icon in whatsapp, while at the same time moving my finger in circular motion, but with it remain placed on the mic icon. I hope this helps because it was all due to my tempered glass basically.

I have the same problem. You guys are correct, I think its about the glass protector. I moved my thumb around slightly while using WhatsApp and it worked longer than 9 secs. Annoying and tiring for the thumb but at least its working.

The solution to the 9 second problem. (1)Hold down on the record mic. (2)As you are recording, slide the mic slightly left to the middle and it will record as long as you want. (3)Too far to the left will delete the message and trash it.... 🙂

it is not the protector or other fault, it is just 2 ways to use the record in whatsapp. Try this: when your chat is in "quick answering" you have this screen (1st img) and the mic icon is in the bottom right of screen, then when you touch it will record for max 10 sec each message, but if you want longer record then use the writing screen (like you will write) see 2nd image

now the "mic icon" is at mid rigth screen, then if you touch it, you can record as long as you like ... hope its works for you and other w/ same problem

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Strange, I have a glass protector on this phone (6) and prior to that a film one. My iPhone 4S had a thin film one, both phones did it with different protectors. Never happened on the 4S prior to iOS 8. Whatsapp and other voice message apps would go as long as I liked.

😀 Thank you Naj-Boogie! Your fix contribution worked like a charm this morning! I have only had a glass protector for two weeks (after the lesson of paying $85.00 to replace the broken glass from dropping my phone 😊).

I did not correlate the sudden inability to send a WhatsApp voicemail message longer than 9 seconds with the glass screen protector!

My thumb massage on the microphone as you described worked! Thank you very much to the original problem solver! You're a hero! 😉

Great!!!! Quiero confirmar la respuesta pues efectivamente me sucedió lo mismo para Whatsapp y Telegram, el problema parece estar en el vidrio templado que compré como protector esta semana. Se soluciona moviendo suavemente de lado a lado el dedo sobre el botón del micrófono.

Gracias !!!!!

Dear Readers,

There's no Issues with any GLASS PROTECTOR or the SCREEN, i can say its just the iOs, anyways lemme come on the solution,

While recording the message just slide the finger a little to the left, not more that will cancel the message, but just till the half

and enjoy recording as long as you want.

I have the same problem. Voice typing works fine on Messages, and Facebook Messenger, but it stops after only a few seconds with Whatsapp. However, this has nothing to do with screen protectors, because the problem started only a few weeks ago, and my iPhone is exactly the same. I wonder if it may have to do with iOS 8.2, which appeared about at the same time as this problem started.

I've had the same problem since installing iOS 8.2. Voice texts go only 3-5 sec max. Moving my finger around the screen doesn't help. Regarding arishjoshila's suggestion, I can't hold down the mic button (bottom, to the left of space bar); it won't start voice without releasing it. No screen protector. Hard reboot didn't work. Help please.

Having same issues on what's app but limited to 9seconds of voice recording. Other apps like telegram and wechat are working as usual and no issues. What's app issue arosed since iOS 7.1.2 update. Now mine already iOS 8.2 iPhone 5, issue for what's app haven't resolved yet 😟

me too has this problem. then my friend give an idea he also using iPhone. when we talking we need press microphone icon. that time don't press finger in microphone, press and little moving finger around the microphone. then my problem is solved

Everyone that has a screen protector like myself, keep moving your finger slightly on the record button to go over 10 seconds. just periodically love your thumb and you can record for as long as you want. I don't know why the screen protector if that's what it is affects our recording time but oh well, that's the solution to it. Hope it helps you guys
