I just updated my iPhone 5 and I can now send the audio messages. When I click to keep them I don't know where they go. Also I don't know how to send the video messages or how to save them and find them after I save them.
iPhone 5, iOS 8
On mac os 10.10:
audio messages received on mac os desktop are stored in ~/Library/Messages/Attachments and have a .amr extension.
You can hence find them via Terminal, open them in Quicktime and then export them as audio file for portability.
If you prefer going trough the interface, in the Messages window, on the chat you've received the audio message, click on 'Details' in the upper right corner. A small gallery containing the attachments for the chat is showed. Find the audio message (a music note icon similar as the one in iTunes), right click on it and choose 'Open'. The .amr file will be then opened in Quicktime and you can export it.

Hi kimberly10606,
Messages data is saved in the Messages app itself.
Keep an audio or video message
An audio or video message recorded and sent from Messages will expire two minutes after you play it. Before an audio or video message expires, you can tap Keep, under the message, to manually save it in Messages and to your attachments. To view your saved attachments, tap Details while viewing the conversation.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

After you record an audio in iOS Messages and then save it, look in the Voice Memos app.
Am not able to get it
Where are the audio messages stored after you "keep" them?
