How To Send Voice Messages To Friends [Facebook]

So if you haven’t heard, Facebook’s Messenger app now offers users the option to leave a voice message for their friends. The idea feeds off of VoIP similar to Skype and others, but the Facebook method doesn’t require any software installations or fancy plugins to operate.

Currently the option to send voice messages is only available through the separate Messenger app for Facebook though we expect that to expand eventually.

Open the app and press the + sign to start a new message.
Enter in a friend’s name in the ‘To:’ field.
Press the + sign next to the ‘Write a message’ field.
You’ll notice several options. Tap ‘Record Voice’.
Press and hold the record button (circle with a red dot in the center) and speak your message.

Messages are automatically sent once the button is released.
