Record voice messages

In the mobile client, you can record voice messages to send them in conversations and channels.

In the web/desktop client, however, you can send audio files that you have previously recorded with an appropriate program. To do this, follow the same procedure as for sending images. For more information, see the article Send and edit images.

In iOS

  2. Tap the Add.svg icon next to the message field at the bottom left.

  3. A series of file selection options will be displayed below the message field. Tap on "Voice msg.".

  4. The "Voice message" view opens. Tap the record button to record your voice message.

  5. Tap the record button again to stop recording.

    2. You will be asked to confirm. Tap "Delete".

    3. You can then record the voice message again.

  7. You can optionally add a message text to the voice message. Enter it in the message field.

  8. Tap the paper airplane to send the message.
