Voice memo recording

[user75zBwihbmx]

Since the UI 6.1 update, the icon to record a voice memo in text messages has been replaced by 🙂 icon. How can I text a voice memo recording on my Android 14?

My messages by Samsung don't have it. I'm going to see if Google messages offer itand yes, it does have a tap button to speak. I think I like Google messages better now.

Google messages has it.

The icon that enables voice memo recording in a text message reappeared after I uninstalled a Samsung engine app which I never downloaded. This must have occurred during the 6.1 UI update. I'm glad I was able to resolve the issue.

Even my mobile Digits app offers voice recording not Samsung, that is weird.

Samsung support said they took it away. I use Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard

I'm not talking about the keyboard's microphone used for voice typing. My issue was with the voice recording memo function in the text application. Wish I could send a screenshot but I don't see an option to attach a file.

We all understood what you were referring to, @Bonedaddy4ever said that Samsung took that feature away.  Google messages has that feature, as well as the speech to text mic in the right place.
