Oct 21, 2015 7:40 AM in response to EnochProjectby jason269,Hello, EnochProject.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like audio messages via iMessage are disappearing after a certain period of time. By default, audio messages expire and delete after 2 minutes unless you opt to keep the message or modify settings. You can select the Keep option after sending or listening to the message. You can also change the option to keep all messages in Settings > Messages > Audio Messages Expire > Never.
Send photo, video, or audio messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Cheers

Oct 21, 2015 1:21 PM in response to jason269by EnochProject,Thank you for responding! My problem is actually something different, though.
Say I am done recording an audio message and I press the "Send" symbol with the up arrow icon. Well, often when I hit that button the message I just recorded disappears. I thought at first this was happening because I was accidentally hitting next to it, like my thumb was too big, and therefore tapping off of the audio message feature. But I'm not doing that, my thumb is tapping right on the freaking arrow.
I hope I explained it better that time!
ANy ideas?

Oct 21, 2015 1:32 PM in response to EnochProjectby jason269,Hey EnochProject,
That information does help and I appreciate the reply. Can you tell me what iOS you are on and what iOS device you are using? The tags show iPhone 4S and iOS 9.0.2, but I want to verify. If you are running iOS 9.0.2 can you update to iOS 9.1 and test again?

Oct 22, 2015 6:07 PM in response to EnochProjectby EnochProject,HI! My husband says that I have a 5, but I remember it being a 4S. I really hate that I'm confused on that and that I don't know how to tell the difference. I have 9.0.2. Tonight I will do as you suggested and re-load it with 9.0.1 and see what comes of it! Thank you for taking the time to help me!

Feb 7, 2016 6:42 PM in response to jason269by Codenerd,Jason: I thought I was alone with this problem, but I'm also experiencing it. I'm running an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 9.2. The message immediately deletes or disappears when I hit the up arrow after Recording an audio message. Generally really record, and hit the up arrow again, and then the second time it works. But I am never successful sending an audio message the first time.

Feb 16, 2016 3:06 PM in response to EnochProjectby adm123,this happens to me, too, and it drives me NUTS. I tend to use the feature when I'm short on time and have a lot to say--it's so irritating to have to rerecord longish messages again and again because I click just above or below the "send" button.
FIX THIS, FOR GOD'S SAKE!
