Your iPhone offers a simple messaging feature through which you can easily type out text messages and send them to people. However, there are occasions when you cannot easily type, such as when you’re out grocery shopping, cooking, doing dishes, etc, but you still need to send a message.
Fortunately, your iPhone 15 or other iOS device has a messaging tool that lets you record and send audio messages directly from the Messages app. Here’s how it works:
