Audio recorder in messages turns itself on

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!

Same problem! After I send my text and begin to put my phone back in my pocket, I hear that **** sound that tells me that text is recording. It happens almost after every text.

Mine too. FIX THIS! It could have very bad unintended results if such an audio message is accidentally sent.

It’s been months and months of this with multiple iOS releases, how long does it take to get a pretty severe messaging and audio bug patched?

Having the same issue - recording automatically turns on when I hit the back arrow to leave that message.

please fix this - I was hoping it was getting fixed with the newest update. 😡🤦‍♂️

I am having the same issue. I found this answers/result from 2016, but it sounds like what might be happening: https://www.loopinsight.com/2016/01/06/why-messages-randomly-starts-recording-audio/. I just updated my settings so hoping it stops - I get so stressed I'm going to send a long audio message to someone inadvertently!

Audio Messages nor Raise To Listen are even options in settings anymore. I can’t figure out how to turn this off!

This happened to me recently too. Had been reading a text message I’d received out loud to a friend and then closed my case. When I opened it again later I discovered it had recorded my conversation afterwards and was playing it all back. Having never used this function before I didn’t know how to stop it. Eventually was able to delete it but what I’d like to know is if the person who’s text page I was on at the time has heard any of the conversation

Thank you for posting this Dr_JY, this has been bothering me for a year at least and I thought it was some hidden gesture having to do with my hand being seen by the camera or lidar or some kind of bug. Never realized this setting was there. It was one of the few things that was a regular annoyance with my iPhone. Apple: Please prompt people about this the first time they trigger it and ask people if they want the setting to be on or off. And/or default it to off for new users. This will increase your customer satisfaction scores.

NO MATTER WHAT I DO I CANNOT GET THIS TO HAPPEN ON PURPOSE BUT IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WITHOUT ANY SORT OF DISCERNIBLE INPUT FROM ME. I have tried “raising” the phone when messages is open in an innumerable number of ways and yet it will not work. Then when I stop trying and begin to put the phone down or into my pocket I hear “beep” and it has started recording automatically. WTAF.

Dr_JY posted the fix!!!

Apple, I am having the same problem. It's not just this, but EVERYTHING!!!

living in NYC area you would assume 5g works well, but it is so bad I use LTE. I just got the iPhone 14 last August, this is my last iphone

I noticed my phone recording other peoples speech after I've texted someone -- it's very annoying to have to delete a few paragraphs of recorded text. I will try turning off the Raise to Listen button. Apple needs to fix this.

Apple!!! Me too!!! Please fix this!!!
