Audio recorder in messages turns itself on

Since the 17 update, when I am in messages and I finish sending a text the audio message will start recording on its own without me selecting anything. I do not mean dictation. With the 17 update you now have the option to hit the plus and you get the options like photos, camera and that’s where the option to send an audio message is now. It is no longer on the text box like it use to be but yet it still pops up randomly and starts recording. Does anyone else have this issue or is there a shortcut on the message screen that I am somehow tapping that I have not figured out yet? Thanks

I have been very annoyed by this occurring, and I FINALLY FOUND THE WAY TO FIX IT!!


Settings > Messages > under “Audio Messages” near the bottom, deactivate “Raise to Listen”


— it’s unclear because the description makes it seem to be about listening and replying to an audio message that’s been sent, BUT IT APPLIES TO THE ‘AUTO-RECORD’ NUISANCE!


Enjoy!
