Voice messaging in iMessage issue

Since upgrading my iPhone 6 to IOS9 last week I've got a constant problem. Whenever I send a voice message using iMessage, the first message I record always vanishes when I press the up arrow (send button) to send my audio and I have to re-record it. Subsequent messages work fine but it's always the FIRST audio message I record and try sending. It's also happening to my friends with iPhone 5S and iPhone 6 Plus handsets. Has anyone else noticed this? It seems to me that even the most basic testing would have shown this problem. It happens whether on Wi-Fi or 4G. Also still experiencing the old problem of iMessages arriving as iMessages and then a few minutes later as text messages.

i've been having this problem for a while, but hadn't taken the time to investigate online until now (late feb 2016). i find it frustrating that this has persisted so long.


i'm running IOS 9.2.1 on an iPhone 6s. for me problem has existed for at least a few months and multiple minor IOS upgrades.


on detail to clarify about my experience, possibly slightly different from what others have reported is that when i try to record a message for the first time in a certain conversation, the message gets recorded. it shows up visually as being complete and (apparently) ready to send. i hit the up-arrow button to send and the message simply disappears without a trace. second and subsequent attempts to send audio message in the same conversation seem to work normally.


i will open a bug with apple about this, for whatever it's worth.

I have the same problem.


The display shows that the message records. The message is ready to send. I press the up arrow. The message vanishes and I just lost my work. This is much worse than the average annoyance. It's a rare bug nowadays, in such a polished system, that actually destroys your work.


After that, subsequent recordings go through correctly for some period time. But then, the problem happens again. So it's a daily occurrence.
