Audio messages on iPhones are convenient for communicating with friends and family.
They allow you to send a quick voice message without making a phone call or typing a long text.
But after you send or receive an audio message, where are they saved on your iPhone?
This article will explain where audio messages are saved on an iPhone and how to access and manage them.
Where Audio Messages are Saved on iPhone
Audio messages are generally saved in the iMessage app on your iPhone; however, as a default, the audio messages expire about two minutes after you hear them for the first time.
That’s why iPhone users need to save the messages by tapping on the ‘keep’ option.
The saved audio messages are stored in the “Voice memos” app.
Remember, however, that the user who sent you a message will receive a notification.
