How to Save Audio Messages on iPhone

If you still learn nothing about it, this post will offer great help.

Suggestion: Keep/Save Voice Messages from iPhone “iMessages” Permanently

It’s well-known to all that iOS 8 “Messages” offers an option to automatically delete an audio message or video message after two minutes when the recipient listens to it. Obviously, this feature helps to make room for your iPhone, but how can you change this two-minute expiration time by yourself and determine when to delete audio messages? After reading over the steps below, you will get clear.

Step 1: Go for “Settings” > “Messages” on your iPhone;

Step 2: Press on “Expire” under “Audio Messages” section;

Step 3: Click “Never” to get this two-minute audio messages expiration time disabled to avoid further automatically deletion.

Note: Though you can use this method to prevent your audio messages from being deleted by iPhone automatically, it sometimes cannot work. In this case, you can try to email the important audio messages to yourself by heading to “info” > “Attachments” under a specific message conversation. This way is available to look through all audio/voice files to let you choose and share.

Step 1: Open your iMessages and press the received audio message;

Step 2: There are “Copy”, “Save” and “More…” options; select and tap on “Save”;

Step 3: The audio message will be saved as a file on your “Voice Memos” app, from where you can share the audio/voice file via email.
