Voice message option disappeared

Hi


the option for sending voice message has disappeared from my iPhone.


it only has a microphone option now that you can speak into but it just types the text automatically and doesn’t do it as an actual voice message.

iPhone 6s, iOS 10

Please input a Phone number first.


The Voice Message (Microphone) will only get activated for iMessage and not for SMS/MMS.

That means after you type in a Phone number or Apple ID in the "To:" field that has been registered for iMessage (Apple Devices) then the microphone icon will get activated for you to send Voice Messages
