Saved voice messages on Android are stored in different locations depending on the app or service you use to send or receive them. Here are the steps to locate saved voice messages on Android for popular messaging apps:
1. WhatsApp: Saved voice messages in WhatsApp are stored within the app itself. To access them, open the WhatsApp chat where the voice message was received, and locate the specific conversation. Within the conversation, you can tap on the voice message to play it. If you want to save it to your device, you can manually transfer it from the chat to your preferred storage location.
2. Telegram: In Telegram, saved voice messages are stored within the app’s media folders. To find them, open the Telegram app and locate the chat containing the voice message. Tap and hold the voice message to reveal options, then select the "Save to Gallery" or "Save to Downloads" option to save it to your device’s respective storage folder.
3. Facebook Messenger: Saved voice messages in Facebook Messenger are usually saved within the app itself. To access them, open the Messenger app and locate the conversation where the voice message was received. Tap on the conversation to open it, and then tap on the voice message to play it. If you wish to save it externally, you may use screen recording or a third-party app to record and save the voice message as a separate file.
4. Android Messages (SMS/MMS): By default, voice messages received through SMS or MMS in the Android Messages app are not saved separately. They are stored within the text message thread. To access them, open the Android Messages app, find the conversation containing the voice message, and tap on it to view the complete message history. The voice message should appear within the text message thread and can usually be played directly in the app.
Remember that the exact locations and options mentioned above may vary slightly depending on the device, Android version, and any customizations made by device manufacturers or app developers. It’s always recommended to explore your app’s settings and consult official documentation or support resources for more precise instructions.

When I save a voice message where does it go?
When you save a voice message, it typically gets stored in your device’s local storage or within the messaging app itself. However, the specific location can vary depending on the device and the messaging or calling app you are using.
To help you better understand the possible locations where voice messages can be saved, here are some steps you can try on different platforms:
For iPhone (iOS 16):
1. Launch the Messages app and locate the conversation containing the voice message.
2. Tap and hold the voice message you want to save until a menu appears.

2. Long-press on the voice message you want to save until a menu pops up.
3. Look for options like "Save," "Save Voice Message," or an icon that indicates saving.
4. Depending on the messaging app you’re using, the voice message may be saved in a specific folder within the app or directly in your device’s local storage.
It’s important to note that some messaging apps may also provide an option to export the voice message to other apps or cloud storage platforms, like Google Drive or Dropbox. This allows you to access the saved voice message from multiple devices or easily back it up.
Remember, the exact steps and location may vary depending on the device, messaging app, and settings. It’s best to refer to the app’s documentation or support resources for more specific guidance.
Where can I find my voice messages?
Voice messages can be found in the voice message application or voicemail section of your smartphone. Here are the steps to find your voice messages on an iPhone running iOS 16:
1. Go to your iPhone home screen by pressing the home button or swiping up from the bottom.
2. Look for the green phone icon, which represents the Phone app, and tap on it to open it.
3. At the bottom of the Phone app, you will find several tabs. Tap on the "Voicemail" tab, which is usually the third tab from the left.
4. Here, you will see a list of your voicemail messages. Each message will have a caller’s name or phone number, the date and time of the message, and the duration of the voicemail.
5. To listen to a specific voicemail, simply tap on it, and it will automatically start playing. You can adjust the volume, pause, rewind, or fast-forward the voicemail playback using the on-screen controls.
6. If you want to delete a voicemail message, swipe left on the message, and a "Delete" button will appear. Tap on it to remove the voicemail from your list.
7. If you have multiple voicemail messages and want to sort or search through them, you can use the search bar at the top of the voicemail screen to find specific messages by name or number.

Where are WhatsApp voice messages saved?
WhatsApp voice messages on the iPhone are saved in the app’s internal storage. Here’s a step-by-step explanation of where these voice messages are typically saved:
1. Launch the WhatsApp application on your iPhone.
2. Open a chat where you have received or sent voice messages.
3. Tap on the specific chat to access the conversation.
4. Locate the voice message you want to find and play.
5. Once you have played the voice message, you may see an option to keep it or delete it. If you choose to keep it, it remains in the chat history.
It’s important to note that WhatsApp voice messages are stored within the app and not in your iPhone’s system folders. Therefore, you won’t be able to directly access the audio files through the iPhone’s file manager or other external applications.
WhatsApp provides limited options for managing voice messages. You can either keep them within the chat or choose to delete them if you no longer need them. Unfortunately, there is no built-in option to export voice messages from WhatsApp.
If you wish to save the voice messages on your iPhone as audio files outside of WhatsApp, you can use third-party apps or screen recording tools to capture and save them separately. However, make sure to respect privacy and obtain proper consent if you plan to save or share someone else’s voice messages.
Remember to always check the latest WhatsApp documentation or contact WhatsApp support for any specific or updated information related to voice message storage.
How do I find audio recordings on Android?
To find audio recordings on an Android device, you can follow these steps:
1. Open the Files or My Files app: Android devices usually come with a built-in file manager app that allows you to navigate through the files stored on your device. The app may vary depending on the manufacturer or the version of Android you are using. Look for an app called "Files," "My Files," or a similar name in your app drawer or home screen.
2. Navigate to the appropriate folder: Once you have opened the file manager app, you’ll need to locate the folder where your audio recordings are stored. By default, recordings are often stored in a folder called "Recordings" or "Voice Recorder." Look for these folders, or you can also check the "Downloads" folder if you have recently downloaded the recordings.
3. Search for audio recordings: If you are unsure about the location of the recordings, you can use the search functionality within the file manager app. Look for a magnifying glass or a search icon within the app and enter relevant keywords like "recording" or the specific filename if you remember it. The search results should display any audio files matching your criteria.
4. Use a third-party app: If you have difficulty finding the audio recordings through the file manager app, you can consider using a dedicated voice recording app from the Play Store. These apps often offer more advanced features and organization options, making it easier to manage and find your audio recordings.
5. Check cloud storage or backups: If you have enabled backup services like Google Drive or any cloud storage app, it’s worth checking those platforms as well. Sometimes, audio recordings can be automatically backed up or synced, allowing you to access them remotely or across multiple devices.
Remember that these steps may slightly vary based on the specific Android device model, version of Android, or any customizations made by the device manufacturer. Nonetheless, this general guide should help you locate your audio recordings on an Android device.
