Hi Okay, now I understand, the old mind is turning over rather slowly here, sorry. I will give that a try. Raise to speak I see is on in the settings for messages, so if it is going to work on my phone, I could try it then. I might be having device-specific problems for sure, as I also often seem to struggle to answer a call now on the lock screen with the well-known 2-finger double tap, which worked like a charm before now, so just may be my phone is nearing the end of its life span.
Thanks for helping.

The whole point for raise to speak is more or less hands free operation, of course it’s not really hands free as you are holding your phone, but all you do is start a new message, enter the contact or phone number where you want to send it to and if the Record button is there which means the other person has iMessage, then all you have to do is raise the phone to your ear and it should make the little beep indicating you can now speak. You then speak/record your message and take the phone away from your ear. This will stop the recording and you will have the buttons on the screen to play, send or cancel the message. Once again, don’t tap, double tap or double tap and hold on any buttons, just raise the phone to your ear.

Let me see if I understand this, if "raise to speak" is on, how do I activate the record button, or does that still need to be double tapped? If not, I am not too sure how this works, or do you tap and then hold the phone and raise it to your ear? I agree on the audio quality being poor. A friend sent me an audio message, and it really does not sound too great. Thanks all the same for the suggestions.

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.
