Hi
Yes, I am aware of the holding, as I've said, it's a known thing as whatsapp
works in a simular way. So, it seems as if I have a device-specific problem
here, fortunately not a big deal as I can use the raise to speak option,
should I want to use the audio. I prefer whatsapp for the audio messages
where possible, as the quality of the audio is much better than the audio
which is part of imessaging. Thanks all the same.

Hi all
I can use the record audio button with no problems under 8.1.1 on both a
4s and iPad Mini 2. The thing here is you have to hold after the second
double tap otherwise nothing will be recorded.

And, thanks to some great help, I tried the raise to speak option to
record the message, and that actually did work indeed. So, not being able
to use the button to record the audio is not a big deal, but I wonder if
it is only on my 4S or if this is indeed a bug impacting on the 4s in
8.1.1.? Thank you for always supplying very helpful information.

Hi Jan,
OK, I’ll try this one more time: when raise to speak is turned on you
do not have to tap the record button at all. 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.

Sieghard

Hi
Thanks for the info. 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.
Regards
Jan

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.

Hi
I'll try that, and yes, a restart has been done. 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.
Regards
Jan

This should work on a 4S. 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.

Subject: Audio messaging in i-message with the iPhone 4s
Hi
I have now, on Friday, upgraded my 4S to Ios 8.1.1, and for the
greater part it is not doing too bad. 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.
