Where to Find Saved Voice Messages on iPhone?[Newest iOS Version]

Are you wondering where those precious voice messages get saved on your iPhone? Whether you want to cherish sweet words from your loved or keep instructions from your boss without digging through lengthy chat histories, this article will guide you on how to save voice messages and where to find them on iPhone.

Part 1. How to Save Voice Messages on iPhone?

By default, audio messages are stored in the iMessage app on your iPhone. However, it's essential to note that these messages will expire and be deleted approximately two minutes after the first time you listen to them. To ensure you don't lose the audio messages, make sure to save or keep them right away within that two-minute window after listening.

To save Voice Messages on iMessage on your iPhone, follow these steps:

• 1Open the Messages app and find the conversation containing the Voice Message you want to save.
• 2Tap and hold the Voice Message until a menu appears.
• 3In the menu, select "Save" or "Save Attachment" to save the Voice Message to your device.

Apart from the mentioned methods, there are other tricks you can apply to safeguard your audio messages on your iPhone. You have the option to adjust the settings to prevent your audio messages from expiring or being deleted. Follow the steps below:

• 1Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Tap on "Messages" from the list of options.
• 2Locate the section for "Audio Messages," usually found towards the bottom of the interface.
• 3Click on "Expire."
• 4Change the expiration settings to "Never."

By making these adjustments, you can ensure that your audio messages remain saved and accessible on your device without the risk of being deleted or expiring.

Part 2. Where to Find Saved Voice Messages on iPhone?

If you have an iOS version earlier than iOS 12, your saved audio files will be in the Voice Memos app. To access saved voice messages, follow these steps:

• 1Locate and open the Voice Memos app on your iPhone. The app icon looks like a white microphone on a black background.
• 2Once you open the Voice Memos app, you should see a list of all your saved voice recordings, including any voice messages that you have saved from the Messages app.
• 3Tap on the voice message you want to listen to, and it will start playing. You can also edit, share, or delete the voice messages from within the Voice Memos app.

If you set audio messages to "Never Expire," they will be automatically saved in the Messages app, allowing for easy access. However, for better storage management, if you only save essential voice messages in the Voice Memos app and let others expire, it will help optimize your device's storage usage.
