iphone only sending 10 second voice messages in apps?

I have a glass cover and this problem. Moving my finger continuously instead of keeping it still solved the problem. Thanks contributors.

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.

😀 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! 😉

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.... 🙂

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.

If you've got a screen protector on, try removing it and it should work.

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 😟

I have the same problem and I tried this and it actually worked! Thanks:)!

Rebooting certainly doesn't work in my case. I shut the phone off every night, to no avail.

I Took off my screen protector and finally my problem is solved

Reboot did not help, and I don't have a screen protector (can't imagine what difference that would make anyway)
