I sent a voice message to someone, after I sent it I listened to it. Then it disappeared. Does that mean it disappeared for the recipient just because I listened to it?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

To someone? To an Android or an iPhone is not clear from your post.


Probably your settings are to keep Audio messages only for 2 mins.

Settings > Messages > Expire [For Audio Message] > Never.


However, it is not deleted from the recipient's iPhone if they have not listened to it or set it to "Never", else it will disappear from their iPhone too after they listen to it



Audio Message when it disappears is not available even in the recently deleted folder.
