Hi Jan,
No, you don’t touch the screen at all. If you enable raise to speak the sensors in the phone will notice when you raise the phone to your ear and engage the microphone, all you do is put the phone to your ear and speak then take it away when you are done and the recording will stop. You still have to tap the Send button,, however, it’s not like Whats App where the message is sent as soon as you release the record button. With audio messages you have the option to send the message or play it first if you want to hear how it sounds. The quality of audio messages in iOS is quite poor compared to Whats App, the native iOS audio messages sound like the recording on an answering machine. I’m actually a bit surprised by this and hope Apple will improve the sound quality in future updates.

Does it mean that you press and hold the button, then quickly raise it to your ear to record and then take it away? The time space for doing so is extremely short. Thanks for the suggestion, will try that.

Have you shut down your phone and restarted it since the update? If not give that a try. If not you can try to just raise the phone to your ear as a work-around. On my 5S once I do this I hear the beep and I can just speak and record my message, once I take the phone away from my ear it stops. Oops, almost forgot, I can’t remember if “Raise to speak” is turned on by default, it is something you can turn on or off. Just go to Settings and Messages, it’s right towards the very bottom.

I have however tried sending an audio message to a person which has I-messaging enabled on his Iphone. It does not seem to work for me though. The audio button is available, but double tapping and hold to record, just throws me out, an into the edit field, and a second or 2 of audio is recorded. This happens whether the edit field is in edit mode or not. Is this function meant to work on the 4S, seeing the button is available, or might this be a phone specific thing with my device? Can others using the 4S with the latest Ios update indeed perform this action? Thanks for any help in the regard.
