Messenger Voice Message Not Working? Let's Troubleshoot Together!

Network issues could definitely affect performance! Just make sure you’re not on a slow Wi-Fi connection, everyone!

You all sound like you need a tech support manual! Maybe a new app altogether? Just joking! Keep troubleshooting.

I’ve been having the same issue with voice messages. They work occasionally but most of the time, it just doesn’t record. Has anyone found a fix?

I had this problem last week! Turning off my phone and then turning it back on worked for me. Give it a try!

Same here! I noticed that when I switched my app settings to ‘low data mode,’ voice messages stopped working. Turning that off fixed it for me.

Wow, I didn’t even think of that! My voice messages were glitchy but I hadn’t checked my data settings. Thanks for sharing!

Check your permissions too! I had to go into settings and allow the messenger app to access my microphone again.

That’s a great point! I totally overlooked my microphone permissions and it was the key to fixing my issue!

Sometimes, the app just needs an update. I was on an older version and once I updated, my voice messages worked perfectly.

Exactly! It’s like they say, ‘an app a day keeps the bugs away.’

Has anyone else experienced this on Wi-Fi? Mine seems to work only on mobile data.

I did! It turned out my Wi-Fi connection was sluggish. Switching to a stronger network made all the difference.
