Sending audio dio messages with your iPhone
When you’re texting from your iPhone, sending an audio Dio message is as easy as tapping a button. That is, as long as you are texting someone who also has an iPhone. It’s a little more difficult if your friend has Android.
First, here’s how to send another Dio message from one iPhone to another.
A Open a conversation and tap the recording icon to the right of the text box.
Record your message, and be sure to keep your finger on the bottom all the time. When you’re done, release your finger.
If you want to hear your recording, tap the play button. Hit the “X” button to delete your recording. To send it, just hit the pointing arrow upwards.
Note: Once your message is finished, it will disappear in two minutes. If you want to keep this message in the conversation, navigate to your settings.
Tap Mess Messaging and scroll down to Audio Dio Messages.
● Then, tap on Finish. Here, you can never change the default expiration time from two minutes.
If you have an iPhone and you want to send a Dio message to an Android user, open the iPhone is Memo app that burns on every iPhone.
Record a memo, then share that recording as an attachment. Sure, you’re not using a messaging app, but it has the same effect.

Sending audio dio messages using an Android phone
When you find an Android phone, sending audio dio messages is not as easy as the simple tap of a button. You have three options.
1. Use Android Messages
To send audio dio clips via Google’s stock messenger app, just follow these simple steps.
Under Settings, allow Android messages to use your microphone.
A Open the conversation.
Hit the green + icon to the left of your text box.
Tap the microphone icon at the bottom of the screen.
After that, press and hold the button when you record your message.
2. Use voice recording application
Like iPhones, Android comes with default and voice recording applications. On your home screen, navigate to the built-in Voice Is Recorder app. Record the hit, speak your message and send the Dio clip to a friend.
If you don’t want to do this every time, you can also try using your smartphone’s built-in assistant.

3. Use Google Assistant
This is the easiest method of all. First, say, “Hey, Google” or “OK, Google.” Then, ask the Google Assistant to send an audio dio message to the person you want to reach. Once you say the name of your contact, Google Assistant will automatically start recording.
Make sure you collect your thoughts ahead of time, though – the assistant will interrupt your recording if it sees a long pause.
Then, Google Assistant will ask if you’re ready to send the recording. If you’re ready, say “yes” or “no” to cancel. Like Apple Pal users, you have the option to hit the Play button to listen or cancel to get started.
